Achieving network on chip fault tolerance by adaptive remapping

摘要

This paper investigates achieving fault tolerance by adaptive remapping in the context of networks on chip. The problem of dynamic application remapping is formulated and an efficient algorithm is proposed to address single and multiple PE failures. The new algorithm can be used to dynamically react and recover from PE failures in order to maintain system functionality. The quality of results is similar to that achieved using simulated annealing but in significantly shorter runtimes.
