In this paper we study the ability of array-based networks to tolerate worst-case faults. We show that an N × N two-dimensional array can sustain N1− worst-case faults, for any fixed > 0, and still emulate T steps of a fully functioning N × N array in O(T + N) steps, i.e., with only constant slowdown. Previously, it was known only that an array could tolerate a constant number of faults with co...
