Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Reconfigurable logic devices are expected to be key devices for systems in severe environment such as spacecrafts, satellites, nuclear power plants and so on, since a system with such devices can be updated remotely by uploading new configuration data and, even for the case of physical defects, may be recovered by reconfiguration excluding faulty parts. However, in order to utilize reconfigurable devices in such a severe environment, we have to cope with logical defects of configuration data. Our goal is to enhance fault tolerance of dynamic reconfigurable systems especially to logical defects in configuration data. In this paper, we review previous works on fault tolerance of reconfigurable systems. Then, we discuss on frameworks of device architectures to enhance fault tolerance. We propose two types of architectures, one based on majority voting, and the other based on error-correcting codes. Both of them correct faults in configuration data autonomously utilizing the ability of dynamic reconfiguration.
