This paper will describe one model for optimizing the performance and reliability of a new system. The model defines cost‐performance and cost‐reliability measures. The paper provides an overview of how a design process using re‐configurable elements is accomplished. The process highlights the cost, performance benefits of a design currently being developed against currently available alternatives. The criteria for selecting performance and reliability metrics are cost optimization. This paper will demonstrate the improvement in reliability and performance as applied to a processing application, when this optimization process is used.
