A Mathematical Model for Reconfiguring VLSI Subarrays Under Row and Column Rerouting

Increasing the size of target arrays is beneficial to reuse fault-free processing elements (PEs) for reconfiguring 2-D mesh-connected processor arrays with faults. In this paper, we discuss the reconfiguration problem under the row and column rerouting constraint. We present a novel approach, making...

description Increasing the size of target arrays is beneficial to reuse fault-free processing elements (PEs) for reconfiguring 2-D mesh-connected processor arrays with faults. In this paper, we discuss the reconfiguration problem under the row and column rerouting constraint. We present a novel approach, making use of the idea of integer programming, for constructing larger size target arrays. Meanwhile, we propose a new method to deal with the fault-free processing elements in the physical row that is selected for exclusion. Compared with the state-of-arts algorithms, our method can make the fault-free PEs used as much as possible, which means the size of the target array can be significantly improved. Experimental results show that, compared with previous studies, the proposed algorithm achieves better results in terms of the usage rate of fault-free PEs in the host array.
