An efficient run-time router for connecting modules in FPGAS
It is often desirable to change the logic and/or the connections within an FPGA design on-the-fly without the benefit of a workstation or vendor CAD software. This paper presents ...

Fault tolerant methods for reliability in FPGAs
Reliability and process variability are serious issues for FPGAs in the future. Fortunately FPGAs have the ability to reconfigure in the field and at runtime, thus providing oppor...
