Self-Organising Digital Circuits Enable Chip Self-Repair via Rewiring
zzznah · x · 2026-08-20
Research introduces Self-Organising Digital Circuits, enabling simulated chips to heal themselves by rewiring around damage rather than using spare parts. Extending the Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) paradigm to arbitrary graphs, the architecture uses a topology-masked Transformer as a decentralized policy to configure LUTs. It demonstrates the ability to self-assemble functional circuits and rapidly re-route logic around permanent, unseen hardware faults by exploiting Boolean solution space degeneracies. For soft errors, the policy achieves perfect recovery from damage sizes exceeding training conditions.
