Abstract :
A new connection network is presented to provide fault tolerance through reconfiguration in WSI. The connection network Ck-gives a high probability of survival in the presence of faults with little delay and a small hardware overhead. Ck is a switched bus network implementing a mesh-connected array. It is flexible, powerful, and has small hardware overhead cost in comparison to two other fault tolerance enhanced mesh-connected arrays-the double rail and symmetric networks. The authors demonstrate that these three networks are similar in their power for surviving clusters of faults but overall, the Ck is both more effective and more efficient than the double rail and has significantly less cost in hardware overhead than the symmetric network
