A reconfiguration-based defect-tolerant design paradigm for nanotechnologies

This article discusses a novel probabilistic design paradigm targeting reconfigurable architected nanofabrics and points to a promising foundation for comprehensively addressing, at the system level, the density, scalability, and reliability challenges of emerging nanotechnologies. The approach exposes a new class of yield, delay, and cost trade-offs that must be jointly considered when designing computing systems in defect-prone nanotechnologies.
