摘要:Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are widely used in reliability-critical applications due to their reconfiguration ability. The emergence of partial reconfiguration in FPGAs has made it possible to incorporate fault tolerance into systems more easily. Fault tolerance includes fault detection and fault recovery. This paper presents the investigation of a fault detection and repair algorithm. Currently available self-repair algorithm makes use of large number of spare cells to achieve good fault coverage.This limitation is overcomed by the proposed algorithm, MORe which satisfies multiple objectives such as less area, minimum routing overhead and multiple fault detection capability.The MORe algorithm is demonstrated and compared with the other two existing algorithms using Matlab.
