Abstract: This paper presents a novel dynamically reconfigurable evolutionary design of multi-context multi-output near real-time functions for implementation using a 2D cellular array structure. A genetic algorithm generates solutions that reuse the cells in the cellular array to implement multiple multi-output functions, thereby minimising the area overhead and power consumed. Further constraints are introduced to yield solutions that are resilient to single cell failure. Test vectors to identify the faulty cell are presented. The experimental validation and results of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a 5 × 5 cellular array to implement context-specific arithmetic functions under fault-free and faulty cell scenarios. The upper and lower bounds for the total time delay in the reconfigurable 2D array is derived.
