myCSoC: Design Explorations With Your Configurable System on a Chip
Triscend Corp. has developed a configurable system on a chip (CSoC) that combines programmable logic with an 8032 microcontroller core in a single device. Application software runs in the 8032 with assistance from peripherals built with soft modules in the programmable logic. Combined with their FastChip development software, you can now design systems where both the software and hardware can be changed at a moment's notice.

Berkeley Reconfigurable Architectures, Systems, and Software - BRASS
The emergence of high capacity reconfigurable devices is igniting a revolution in general-purpose processing. It is now becoming possible to tailor and dedicate functional units and interconnect to take advantage of application dependent dataflow. Early research in this area of reconfigurable computing has shown encouraging results in a number of spot areas including cryptography, signal processing, and searching

Zippy - A Novel Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor
The ZIPPY project aims at the investigation and development of a dynamically reconfigurable embedded processor architecture. This architecture will integrate blocks of a novel adaptive computing structure with standard processor components such as CPU core, caches, on-chip memories, and controllers.

White Paper: The What, Why, and How of Configurable Processors
Nanometer ASIC design is a costly, risky business. While million-dollar mask costs get most of the attention from the technical press, mask costs are just the tip of the iceberg. Design costs for ASICs with tens or hundreds of millions of gates can easily cost $50 million or more. With those stakes, it makes sense to use every means possible to reduce the risk of design failure. Configurable processors can help your ASIC design team meet perfo...
