Duplication, misrouting, and dropping of packets due to short faults on network-on-chip (NoC) interconnects have become a burden and significant impact on performance metrics. This paper proposes an adaptive approach that detects and locates intra-channel short faults on NoC interconnects, and accounts impact of the faults on performance metrics. The model is scalable with all NoCs. Simulations show the effectiveness of proposed approach and measure different performance metrics with faulty channels on various NoCs.
