Summary:The authors study the problem of allocating spares to specific
fault-tolerant VLSI/WSI (wafer scale integration) designs to maximize
the global yield. Four problems are examined: (1) the optimal yield
problem for k-out-of-n systems; (2) the optimal
partition of elements; (3) spare allocation for trees; and (4) spare
allocations for row/column reconfiguration systems
