Abstract
This paper presents an effective reconfiguration scheme consisting of detailed spare replacement, processor placement, routing, and switch p rogramming mechanisms. A new switch programming scheme is proposed to reduce the hardware overhead of reconfiguration. A thorough yield simu lation tool has been developed for accurate prediction of yield by con sidering the effects of defect clusters and switching network failures . This yield simulation tool can also be used to obtain the informatio n on the performance degradation, spare replacement, processor placeme nt, routing and the switch programming algorithm survival probability.
