Abstract :
Presents a new approach to the reconfiguration problem for regular hexagonal arrays that find numerous applications in VLSI and WSI designs such as multipliers, signal processing circuits, etc. Efficient heuristics are used to obtain a fast solution that has excellent fault-coverage characteristics even in the presence of multiple faults
