An evaluation of defect and fault tolerant signal routing strategies for WASP devices

The paper presents an investigation into two defect and fault tolerant signal routing strategies for WASP devices. The success rate of each strategy in establishing good signal routing connections, for a complete 32-bit WASP bus structure in the presence of randomly distributed defects is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. The most efficient, as well as defect and fault tolerant, of the two strategies is then identified.
