摘要
Fault-tolerant architectures that use redundancy for yield and performance improvement are considered. The authors present a unified framework through which existing architectures of VLSI processor arrays incorporating fault tolerance can be analyzed and new ones suggested. Several problems related to testing and reconfiguration of these arrays are also described. Both the distributed and centralized modes of testing are discussed. The last part of the work presents analytical models for the evaluation of reliability and yield improvement through redundancy.
