Defect-Tolerant Nanocomputing Using Bloom Filters
We propose a novel defect-tolerant design methodology using Bloom filters for defect mapping for nanoscale computing devices. It is a general approach that can be used for any permanent defects incurred during the manufacturing process. Our redundant design methodology does not rely on a voting strategy, thus it utilizes the device redundancy more effectively than existing approaches. Additionally, our method does not have false-positive in defect identification, i.e. it will not report a defective device as functional. Moreover, it is very space economic and can be programmed to fit different scales and characteristics of the underlying specific nanoscale devices used in the system.
