Yield enhancements of design-specific FPGAs
The high unit cost of FPGA devices often deters their use beyond the prototyping stage. Efforts have been made to reduce the part-cost of FPGA devices, resulting in the developmen...

A cache-defect-aware code placement algorithm for improving the performance of processors
— Yield improvement through exploiting fault-free sections of defective chips is a well-known technique [1][2]. The idea is to partition the circuitry of a chip in a way that fau...

Methodologies for Tolerating Cell and Interconnect Faults in FPGAs
—The very high levels of integration and submicron device sizes used in current and emerging VLSI technologies for FPGAs lead to higher occurrences of defects and operational fau...

Structural Test for Graceful Degradation of NoC Switches
Abstract—Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) are implicitly fault tolerant due to their inherent redundancy. They can overcome defective cores, links and switches. As a side effect, yield is...

Rescue: A Microarchitecture for Testability and Defect Tolerance
Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...
