Self-repairable chip for silent data corruption issues

A method for repairing data corruption on a device having a self-repairable chip, the method comprising:

• detecting, by one or more processing cores comprising a plurality of processing units, the data corruption in a data processing matrix of at least one of the plurality of processing units, wherein the data processing matrix is arranged in a plurality of rows and columns and the data processing matrix includes at least one of a redundant column or a redundant row of processing units;
• identifying, by one or more processing cores, a defective tile of the data processing matrix where the data corruption occurred, the defective tile comprising at least one critical logic unit required for the self-repairable chip to function and a plurality of auxiliary logic units that are not required for the self-repairable chip to function;
• determining, by one or more processing cores, whether a defective logic unit in the defective tile is the at least one critical logic unit or one of the plurality of auxiliary logic units;
• and
• replacing, by one or more processing cores, the defective tile with one of the redundant column or the redundant row when the defective logic unit is the auxiliary logic unit,
• wherein a number of the plurality of auxiliary logic units in the defective tile is greater than a number of the at least one critical logic unit to increase the reparability of the self-repairable chip, and wherein a majority of logic units in the defective tile is the plurality of auxiliary logic units.
