Abstract

"With the recent development of nanoscale materials and assembly techniques, it is envisioned to build high-density computational systems in nanometer scale which have many advantages, such as area, power and speed, over current CMOS-based circuits and systems. High-density systems consisting of nanometer-scale elements are likely to have many imperfections; thus, defect-tolerance is considered as one of the most significant challenges. In this thesis, we evaluate a few repair algorithms for tolerating defective crosspoints in NanoFabric and estimate efficiency and cost-effectiveness of each algorithm. Also, for a given design and manufacturing environment, we propose a method to obtain the optimal solution by considering the area overhead, repair time overhead and reconfiguration cost. Various probabilistic parameters are applied to the proposed cost-driven optimization model with the flexibility to match different design and manufacturing process as well"--Abstract, page iii.
