The Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chips book is a good collection of articles from academia and industry that presents the challenges, research, and innovations in multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) designs. The book was published in 2005, so the articles in it are a few years old. But, the information is still relevant and they provide many references to other literature about the subject. In the dynamic field of MPSoC design, the book serves as a good reference to see what advances have transpired and where the trends will lead.

This was a required textbook for a graduate course I took in SoC design. Selected chapters from the book were assigned for reading and class discussion. Knowledge of computer engineering is essential to understanding the book contents.
