COMPUTING WITH A TRILLION CRUMMY COMPONENTS.

This article explores the objective of building defect and fault-tolerant circuits on the nanometer scale. The author compares the built-in downtime and multiple runs needed to test data in the early days of computing and how John von Neumann and Claude Shannon introduced the concept of machines tha...
