A module-sliced approach for high yield VLSI/WSI processors
Yung-Chia Chang, Kang G. Shin · 2003
The module-sliced approach is realized in a reconfigurable fault-tolerant segmented array processor (RFTSAP). The basic building block of RFTSAP is a node which consists of a processor, local memory, and a programmable I/O unit (PIOU). The PIOU allows any group of processors to be combined to perform the functions of a large processor module. The yield of a large processor module can be improved 2 to 4 times compared to that of approaches not using the module-sliced method.>
