METHOD AND ARCHITECTURE FOR EMBRYONIC HARDWARE FAULT PREDICTION AND SELF-HEALING

Disclosed herein is a method for making embryonic bio-inspired hardware efficient against faults through self-healing, fault prediction, and fault-prediction assisted self-healing. The disclosed self-healing recovers a faulty embryonic cell through innovative usage of healthy cells.
