Abstract

The authors propose to set up assignment rules based on the available interconnection resources of 2-D processor arrays. The reconfiguration of 2-D processor arrays is guided by the assignment rules, such that logical cells are always connected through the available interconnection resources. The advantage of the proposed approach is the easy adaptation to various system requirements, by adjusting assignment rules. The proposed reconfiguration algorithm can be extended to arrays with clustered faulty cells, overcoming the weakness of fixed domain approaches.
