Heuristic Search for Defect Tolerant Multiprocessor Arrays

In this paper, new heuristic-search methods and algorithms are presented for enabling highly efficient and adaptive, defect-tolerant multiprocessor arrays. We consider systems where a homogeneous multiprocessor array lies on top of reconfigurable interconnects which allow the pipeline stages of the processors to be connected in all possible...
