Design method of defect-tolerant WSI systems based on the residue number system
Nobuhiro Tomabechi · 1991
A design method is proposed for defect-tolerant WSI arithmetic systems based on the RNS (residue number system). The yield analysis has shown that the features of the RNS are very well suited for the defect recovery of WSIs. In the RNS, addition and multiplication are performed in parallel, but division is relatively complex. The proposed method seems to be most effectively used for such systems as matrix calculation and signal processing in which high speed operation is essential and division is not as frequently used.>
