Metal option programmability is used to reconfigure the functionality of a design and for analog circuit fine-tuning such as resistor values or device sizes.
The strategy is to reconfigure the functionality of the system or maintain critical operations so that parts affected by the fault are disabled without affecting other parts of the system.
We present two flexible Internet Protocol (IP) router hardware (HW) architectures that enable a router to (1) readily expand in capacity according to network traffic volume growth; and (2) reconfigure its functionalities according to the hierarchical network layer in which it is placed.
Due to this feature, some static parts of the design could be in the reconfigurable regions without being affected by the act of reconfiguration itself, while the functionality of reconfigurable parts of the design is reconfigured [9].
On state changes, when Titan nodes fail or get out of reach, the Titan nodes can be reconfigured to perform a new functionality.
Peizhao hu et al. [21] proposed a model-based autonomic context management system for pervasive computing that dynamically configured and reconfigured its context information by gathering and preprocessing functionality, which provided fault tolerant provisioning of context information.
In summary, policy in a middleware context represents user specified goals and functional concerns, meeting these by operating to a) bring functionality, and b) regulate/control within and across applications, by reconfiguring the system/environment.
The functionality of the co-processors is dynamically reconfigured to meet the requirements of the network workload.
Their survivability is improved through their ability to reconfigure into different states so that some level of over-all functionality is retained.
A new functionality was added to the initial system, and later reconfigured into the FPGA-chip as a new processor-module.
Moreover, the machine can be reconfigured to meet the changing needs in terms of capacity and functionality, which means that the same machine can be modified in order to perform different tasks depending on the offered axes of motion in each configuration and the availability of tools.
