Reconfigurable Architecture: Static Interconnect Fault-Tolerant

This lecture focuses on a reconfiguration architecture for semiconductor devices, addressing design variability and low power circuits. The instructor presents a matrix of statically interconnected cells, allowing for fault-tolerant computing and data routing. Tools like genetic algorithms are used to optimize the mapping of applications onto the cells, while controllers manage defects and configurations. Results show trade-offs between lightweight and heavyweight controllers, with a focus on correction success rates and design complexity.
