  • Publication number: 20240160825
    Abstract: A system and method to create a robust topology of a layout of cores for performing a function on an array of cores arranged in a grid is disclosed. A defective core file of location of defective cores in the array and an optimal ideal topology of a configuration layout of at least some of the cores is input. The location of at least one defective core of the array is determined. At least some of the cores in the array of cores are assigned to the optimal initial topography of cores in the array. It is determined whether at least one defective core is in the optimal initial topography. The functions of the cores in the row and the column of the at least one defective core are assigned to additional neighboring cores in the array of cores to create the robust topology.
