摘要

This article proposes the explicit redundancy linear array (erela) architecture to provide highly flexible fault tolerance. Erela follows the baseline reconfigurable architecture, which works best with failure-unit isolation and hot-swap techniques. The authors propose a low-cost self-tuning scheme to quickly locate the defective processing element or network connection. Erela can achieve fault tolerance similar to a traditional triple modular redundancy processor, with one-third less power consumption.
