Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper considers fault-tolerance on the R-Mesh and LR-Mesh models. We propose a technique to identify a healthy submesh from a faulty model using the removal fault model. Then, we use scalable algorithms to simulate the faulty model on the resulting healthy submesh. We also extend this work to cover more restrictive variations of the reconfigurable mesh, specifically, the NXR-Mesh and NXLR-Mesh. The overhead for the R-Mesh and NXR-Mesh is O(log n), and we obtain a constant overhead for the LR-Mesh and NXLR-Mesh.
