Loop based design for wafer scale systems

This paper presents a loop based design scheme suitable for wafer scale systems and introduces a variant of the basic reconfiguration algorithm. The underlying topology has been extended to a nonplanar graph of vertex degree five. The yield for this system is higher than that of a planar graph of vertex degree six and requires less hardware for its implementation. Several comparisons among various topologies and reconfiguration algorithms are made within the context of percolation models.<>
