Abstract :
A superchip concept is introduced for realising Ultra Large Scale Integrated (ULSI) circuits which incorporate defect/fault tolerance and system reconfiguration. The central architectural component, a large crossbar switch matrix, is demonstrated in silicon. Hypothetical processor examples are illustrated utilising the superchip approach, and design/performance figures are discussed.
