“…Partial reconfiguration can be exploited to speed up the SEUs correction task [Asadi and Tahoori 2007;Gokhale et al 2006]. The scrubbing methodologies (which can be efficiently used in combination with the TMR technique) are usually implemented by using external circuitry that manages and controls the reconfiguration process [Asadi and Tahoori 2007;Bridgford et al 2008;Gericota et al 2007;Gokhale et al 2006]. …”

This article presents a novel configuration scrubbing core, used for internal detection and correction of radiation-induced configuration single and multiple bit errors, without requiring external scrubbing. The proposed technique combines the benefits of fast radiation-induced fault detection with fast restoration of the device functionality and small area and power overheads. Experimental results demonstrate that the novel approach significantly improves the availability in hostile radiation environments of FPGA-based designs. When implemented using a Xilinx XC2V1000 Virtex-II device, the presented technique detects and corrects single bit upsets and double, triple and quadruple multi bit upsets, occupying just 1488 slices and dissipating less than 30 mW at a 50MHz running frequency.

Abstract-In this paper, an architecture based on a scalable and flexible set of Evolvable Processing arrays is presented. FPGA-native Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) is used for evolution, which is done intrinsically, letting the system to adapt autonomously to variable run-time conditions, including the presence of transient and permanent faults. The architecture supports different modes of operation, namely: independent, parallel, cascaded or bypass mode. These modes of operation can be used during evolution time or during normal operation. The evolvability of the architecture is combined with fault-tolerance techniques, to enhance the platform with self-healing features, making it suitable for applications which require both high adaptability and reliability. Experimental results show that such a system may benefit from accelerated evolution times, increased performance and improved dependability, mainly by increasing fault tolerance for transient and permanent faults, as well as providing some fault identification possibilities. The evolvable HW array shown is tailored for window-based image processing applications.
