Abstract

This article presents a software routing algorithm used to increase fault tolerance of a large-scale MIMD computer based on an isochronous crossbar network. The routing algorithm is completed with a placement algorithm that uses an evolutionary approach that allows dynamic reconfigurations of the task-processor mapping when a fault is detected.
