Self-Modifying Circuitry for Efficient, Defect-Tolerant Handling of Trillion-element Reconfigurable Devices
As VLSI circuits continue to have more and more transistors over time, the question of not only how to use, but how to manage the complexity of so many transistors becomes increasingly important. Four hypothesis are given for the design of a system that scales-up as transistors continue to shrink. …
