Abstract
Yield analysis for reconfigurable structures is often difficult, due to the defect distribution and irregularity of reconfiguration algorithms. In this paper, the authors give a method to analyze the yield of reconfigurable pipelines for the following model: Given n pipelines with m stages, where each stage of a pipeline is defective with constant probability and spare wires are provided for reconfiguration, the authors calculate the expected percentage of pipelines they can harvest after reconfiguration. By modeling the 'shifting' reconfiguration as weighted chains in a lattice and applying poset theory, they give upper and lower bounds for the harvest rate as a function of m and n.<>
由于缺陷分布和可重构算法的不规则性,可重构结构的良品率分析通常比较困难。在本文中,作者针对以下模型给出了一种分析可重构流水线良品率的方法:给定具有 m 个阶段的 n 条流水线,其中流水线的每个阶段都以恒定概率存在缺陷,并且为重新配置提供了备用导线,作者计算了重新配置后可收获流水线的预期百分比。通过将 "移位 "重新配置建模为网格中的加权链,并应用 poset 理论,他们给出了作为 m 和 n 函数的收获率上限和下限。
