A novel self-routing reconfigurable and fault-tolerant cell array
A novel self-routing reconfigurable and fault-tolerant cell array
Many examples of reconfigurable fault-tolerant hardware consist of cells that have the same hardware structure. The arithmetic or logical functions of the cells can be configured. The interconnection of the configured cells can perform a complex task. The interconnection of the cells can be configured too. When some cells are faulty, the function and routing of other cells have to be reconfigured to restore the normal system function. Most published fault-tolerant schemes cannot achieve automatic fault tolerance without the aid of external software and hardware, or they require a long routing time to restore the normal system function. Some other published fault-tolerant schemes require a massive amount of spare cells. The thesis presents a self-routing reconfigurable and fault-tolerant cell array. When some cells are faulty, the spare cells can replace the faulty cells automatically and rerouting can also be achieved automatically. The cell array achieves fault tolerance without the aid of external software or hardware, using a small amount of spare cells. In addition, the proposed cell array archives short-path and low-congestion routing to restore the normal system function fast.

Abstract
Many examples of reconfigurable fault-tolerant hardware consist of cells that have the same hardware structure. The arithmetic or logical functions of the cells can be configured. The interconnection of the configured cells can perform a complex task. The interconnection of the cells can be configured too. When some cells are faulty, the function and routing of other cells have to be reconfigured to restore the normal system function. Most published fault-tolerant schemes cannot achieve automatic fault tolerance without the aid of external software and hardware, or they require a long routing time to restore the normal system function. Some other published fault-tolerant schemes require a massive amount of spare cells. The thesis presents a self-routing reconfigurable and fault-tolerant cell array. When some cells are faulty, the spare cells can replace the faulty cells automatically and rerouting can also be achieved automatically. The cell array achieves fault tolerance without the aid of external software or hardware, using a small amount of spare cells. In addition, the proposed cell array archives short-path and low-congestion routing to restore the normal system function fast.
