Abstract :
The way in which a shuffle/exchange network is managed for single and multiple hybrid triplicated-modular-redundancy operations in addition to the normal SIMD, MIMD and multiple MIMD operations is described. The proposed system, the Omega/H(3,S), is suitable for applications that require various phases of a mission. Two TMR configurations are embedded in the structure of the routing network with an extra stage (steering stage) and a control processor. In the first configuration, the Omega/H(3,N-3), three processor-destination pairs are used as the spares. In the second configuration, the multiple Omega/H(3,1), up to N/4 partitions of TMR, each with a single spare, are available
