New Fault Tolerance Control for Cell-Based Evolve Hardware Architecture

This paper presents a new fault tolerance control unit model in a cell-based architecture. This model is 2 layers and 2 dimensions array architecture that each layer can be independently repaired. In the approach considered a cell to be control layer and functional layer that control unit in the control layer can be used to detect and repair faults in other control units in their layer. Therefore, this process is transparent to the functional layer that still working during repair phase. Each layer also uses to support repair and detect faults between layers. This paper shows how the model can be used to repair cover a control units fault and a functional unit fault. The reliability analysis shows the improving fault-tolerance of this model.
