Reconfigurable architectures can bring unique capabilities to computational tasks. They
offer the performance and energy efficiency of hardware with the flexibility of software. In …

Reconfigurable Computing marks a revolutionary and hot topic that bridges the gap
between the separate worlds of hardware and software design—the key feature of …

The paper describes architectural enhancements to Xilinx FPGAs that provide better support
for the creation of dynamically reconfigurable designs. These are augmented by a new …

We present a built-in self-test (BIST) approach able to detect and accurately diagnose all
single and practically all multiple faulty programmable logic blocks (PLBs) in field …

Fault-tolerant systems typically require expensive additional resources (spare pins, columns,
and chips) and external control for reconfiguration. We introduce an effective, low-cost repair …

As feature sizes shrink closer to single digit nanometer dimensions, defect tolerance will
become increasingly important. This is true whether the chips are manufactured using top …

Most adaptive computing systems use reconfigurable hardware in the form of field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). For these systems to be fielded in harsh environments …

Self-engineering systems that are capable of repairing themselves in-situ without the need
for human decision (or intervention) could be used to achieve zero-maintenance. This …

We present the first delay-fault testing approach for Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs), applicable for on-line testing as well as for off-line manufacturing and system-level …

In biological systems, individual phenotypes are typically adopted by multiple genotypes.
Examples include protein structure phenotypes, where each structure can be adopted by a …
