For a design to survive unforeseen physical effects like aging, temperature variation, and/or emergence of new application\nstandards, adaptability needs to be supported. Adaptability, in its complete strength, is present in reconfigurable processors,\nwhich makes it an important IP in modern System-on-Chips (SoCs). Reconfigurable processors have risen to prominence as\na dominant computing platform across embedded, general-purpose, and high-performance application domains during the last\ndecade. Significant advances have been made in many areas such as, identifying the advantages of reconfigurable platforms, their\nmodeling, implementation flow and finally towards early commercial acceptance. This paper reviews these progresses fromvarious\nperspectives with particular emphasis on fundamental challenges and their solutions. Empowered with the analysis of past, the\nfuture research roadmap is proposed.
