A reconfiguration-based yield enhancement system

An approach to yield enhancement of programmable array chips by logical restructuring of circuit placements was recently proposed by Kumar et al. (1991). and a graph model for its reconfiguration aspect was later introduced by Narasimhan et al. (1991). Using this model and a new cost measure, we present a complete yield enhancement system. We implement two reconfiguration algorithms on it, evaluate their performances, and propose good reconfiguration strategies.<
