Defect repair circuits for a reconfigurable data processor

A device architecture includes a spatially reconfigurable array of processors, such as configurable units of a CGRA, having spare elements, and a parameter store on the device which stores parameters that tag one or more elements as unusable. Technologies are described which change the pattern of pl...

Zusammenfassung:A device architecture includes a spatially reconfigurable array of processors, such as configurable units of a CGRA, having spare elements, and a parameter store on the device which stores parameters that tag one or more elements as unusable. Technologies are described which change the pattern of placement of configuration data, in dependence on the tagged elements. As a result, a spatially reconfigurable array having unusable elements can be repaired.
