Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A fault-tolerant self-reconfigurable 2D systolic array to calculate matrix multiplications is implemented on an FPGA.
The array uses a 1.5-track switching network for reconfiguration.
The array implemented is compared with the corresponding non-redundant case
by simulations for concrete examples,
in terms of hardware size, total array reliability considering not only faults of processing elements but also faults in the switching networks,
fabrication-time cost and computation time.
Then it is shown that the fault-tolerant array is better than the the corresponding non-redundant one,
in terms of fabrication-time cost and the total array reliability,
even if faults of switching networks are not negligible,
by giving the concrete data.
This must be useful for designing fault-tolerant 2D arrays.
