While system reliability is conventionally achieved through component replication, we have developed a fault-tolerance approach for FPGA-based systems that comes at a reduced cost in terms of design time, volume, and weight. We partition the physical design into a set of tiles. In response to a component failure, we capitalize on the unique reconfiguration capabilities of FPGAs and replace the affected tile with a functionally equivalent tile that does not rely on the faulty component. Unlike fixed structure fault-tolerance techniques for ASICs and microprocessors, this approach allows a single physical component to provide redundant backup for several types of components. Experimental results conducted on a subset of the MCNC benchmarks demonstrate a high level of realiability with low timing and hardware overhead.
