Relation between Fault Tolerance and Reconfiguration in Cellular Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, hardware researchers have promptly begun to investigate alternative computational principles to the conventional ones. The main signs of these principles are inspiration in biology and their direct hardware implementation. Evolvable hardware, cellular computing or embryonic electronics are the most important examples. This paper describes different approaches to configuration, reconfiguration and fault tolerance implementation of two-dimensional cellular system. Simplicity of the cell, vast parallelism, and the connection locality are considered as the design restric-

Novel Defect Terminolgy Beside Evaluation And Design Fault Tolerant Logic Gates In Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata
Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...
متن کاملControl Reconfiguration of a Boiler-Turbine Unit After Actuator Faults
Boiler-turbines are one of the most important parts in power generation plants. The safety problem in such systems has always been a special concern. This paper discusses the application of control reconfig uration by fault-hiding approach for a boiler-turbine unit. In Fault-hiding approach, after occurrence of a fault, nominal controller of the system remains unchanged; instead, a reconfigurat...
متن کاملMUXTREE Revisited: Embryonics as a Reconfiguration Strategy in Fault-Tolerant Processor Arrays
Embryonics’ proposal is to construct arrays of processing elements with self-diagnosis and self-reconfiguration abilities able to tolerate the presence of failing cells in the same fashion as natural cellular systems do. Self-healing mechanisms found in nature and the implicit redundancy of cellular architectures constitute the foundations of embryonic systems’ fault tolerance properties. It wi...
متن کاملDesign of a Basic Cell to Construct Embryonic Arrays
Embryonic systems are cellular arrays with reconfiguration characteristics similar to those found in biological cellular organisms. Properties such as multicellular organisation, cellular differentiation and cellular division provide embryonic arrays with biological-like fault tolerance properties. This paper presents the detailed description of a basic cell to be used as the building block of ...
متن کاملReconfiguration for Fault Tolerance and Performance Analysis
Architecture reconfiguration, the ability of a system to alter the active interconnection among modules, has a history of different purposes and strategies. Its purposes develop from the relatively simple desire to formalize procedures that all processes have in common to reconfiguration for the improvement of fault-tolerance, to reconfiguration for performance enhancement, either through the s...
