Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient fault-recovery technique for CGRA (Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture) based multi-core architecture. The proposed technique is intra/inter-CGRA co-reconfiguration technique based on a ring-based sharing fabric (RSF) and it enables exploiting the inherent redundancy and reconfigurability of the multi-CGRA for fault-recovery. Experimental results show that the proposed approaches achieve up to 73% fault recoverability when compared with completely connected fabric (CCF).
