Systematic Methods to Evaluate Fault-Tolerant Behavior of Nanoscale Circuits
This paper focuses on the investigation of efficient methods to evaluate circuit fault-tolerance. We propose a fault-tolerance evaluation method based on the Belief Propagation (BP) algorithm. Compared with existing approaches, our algorithm is more efficient in terms of memory requirements and CPU time. The algorithm can easily run on multiple CPUs to achieve parallel processing, and thus furt...
متن کاملTowards a Systematic Design of Fault-Tolerant Asynchronous Circuits
Accommodating billions of transistors on a single die, VLSI technology has reached a scale where principal physical limitations have a strong impact on design principles. Among the particular challenges are maintaining the synchronous clock abstraction in settings where wiring delays dominate over switching delays, and coping with increasing transient failure rates. In an attempt to address som...
متن کاملDefect-tolerant Logic with Nanoscale Crossbar Circuits
Crossbar architectures are one approach to molecular electronic circuits for memory and logic applications. However, currently feasible manufacturing technologies introduce numerous defects so insisting on defectfree crossbars would give unacceptably low yields. Instead, increasing the area of the crossbar provides enough redundancy to implement circuits in spite of the defects. We identify rel...
متن کاملFault Tolerant Circuits and Probabilistically Checkable Proofs
We introduce a new model of fault tolerance for Boolean circuits. We consider synchronized circuits and we allow an adversary to choose a small constant fraction of the gates at each level of the circuit to be faulty. We require that even in the presence of such faults the circuit compute a \loose version" of the given function. We show that every symmetric function has a small (size O(n), dept...
متن کاملUsing Negative Correlation to Evolve Fault-Tolerant Circuits
In this paper, we show how artificial evolution can be used to improve the fault-tolerance of electronic circuits. We show that evolution is able to improve the fault tolerance of a digital circuit, given a known fault model. Evolution is also able to create sets of different circuits that, when combined into an ensemble of circuits, have reduced correlation in their fault pattern, and therefor...
