FAULT TOLERANCE IN FPGA THROUGH KING SHIFTING

A wide range of fault tolerance methods for FPGAs have been proposed. Approaches range from simple architectural redundancy to fully on-line adaptive implementations. The homogeneous structure of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) suggests that the defect tolerance can be achieved by shifting the configuration data inside the FPGA. All methods and schemes are qualitatively compared and some particularly promising approaches are highlighted. The applications of these methods also differ; some are used only for manufacturing yield enhancement, while others can be used in-system. This survey attempts to provide an overview of the current state of the art for fault tolerance in FPGAs.In this paper we have discussed the king shifting allocation method
