Most evolutionary approaches to fault recovery in FPGAs focus on evolving alternative logic congurations as opposed to evolving theintra-cellrouting.SincethemajorityoftransistorsinatypicalFPGA are dedicated to interconnect, nearly 80% according to one estimate, evolutionary fault-recovery systems should benet by accommodating routing. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary fault-recoverysystem employingageneticrepresentationthattakesintoaccountbothlogicand routing congurations. Experiments were run using a software model of theXilinxVirtexFPGA.WereportthatusingfourVirtexcombinational logic blocks, we wereable to evolvea 100% accurate quadrature decoder nite state machine in the presence of a stuck-at-zero fault.
