Computing machines require the highest possible dependability in order to provide accurate functionality in aggressive, critical environments. For this purpose, the Embryonics (for embryonic electronics) project explores Nature's structural redundancy mechanisms in digital electronics. It offers a hierarchically reconfigurable framework [4][5][18], whose effectiveness was assessed only for some particular cases [8]. Following the introduction of specialized memory structures [10][13], this paper proposes a more thorough reliability analysis, inspired by fault-tolerant quantum computing theory. After adopting the accuracy threshold measure as the main parameter for our qualitative evaluation, the concepts and implementation details about concatenated coding are presented. This technique, also inspired from reliable quantum computing, seems particularly well suited for the multiple-level architecture in Embryonics and allows preserving arbitrary long fault-tolerant computation.
