Fault Tolerant FPGA: A survey

Using of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is growing up in many aspects of technology. Implementation of embedded systems (embedded processors, system -on-chip, network-on-chip) in critical applications are some of the most important fields of using of FPGAs. Some applications such as life-support equipment, deep-space missions, and nuclear weapons control systems, are very complex and critical. Reliability and availability are serious issues for this applications. Fortunately FPGAs have the ability to reconfiguration, therefore provide opportunities to overcome some of these issues. This survey attempts to investigate some of the most popular methods in fault detection and fault tolerance in FPGA based systems.
