medium creates a multi-dimensional design space
where trade-offs between power, speed, cost, and reliability
are now possible. Dynamic reconfiguration allows
these trade-offs to be made on-line to adapt to various
environmental changes. Furthermore, the cost of designing
reliable circuits is greatly reduced since varying levels of
reliability can be added to any circuit, even if it was not
originally designed to run reliably, either at the time of
application start-up or during application execution.
