Teramac is a massively parallel experimental computer built at Hewlett-Packard
Laboratories to investigate a wide range of different computational architectures. This …

Current very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) technology allows the manufacture of large-area
integrated circuits with submicrometer feature sizes, enabling designs with several millions …

Digital Microfluidic Biochips focuses on the automated design and production of microfluidic-
based biochips for large-scale bioassays and safety-critical applications. Bridging areas of …

Fault-tolerance is an important system metric for many operating environments, from
automotive to space exploration. The conventional technique for improving system reliability …

This paper describes a new built-in self test (BIST) technique suitable for both functional and
structural testing of analog and mixed-signal circuits based on the oscillation-test …

A wide range of fault tolerance methods for FPGAs have been proposed. Approaches range
from simple architectural redundancy to fully on-line adaptive implementations. The …

In this paper we present an on-line, multi-level fault tolerant (FT) technique for system
functions and applications mapped to partially and dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs. Our …

Reliability and process variability are serious issues for FPGAs in the future. Fortunately
FPGAs have the ability to reconfigure in the field and at runtime, thus providing opportunities …

Teramac is a large custom computer which works correctly despite the fact that three
quarters of its FPGAs contain defects. This is accomplished through unprecedented use of …

The very high levels of integration and submicron device sizes used in current and emerging
VLSI technologies for FPGAs lead to higher occurrences of defects and operational faults …
