Abstract
The invention pertains mainly to a reconfigurable computing device. The main object of the invention is a computer comprising redundant elements. The computer according to the present invention can function when there is a failure of one of the elements that constitute it. In this case, the redundant element takes the place of the malfunctioning element. Should the computer according to the present invention be in a critical stage, i.e. a situation where any interruption in computation would have serious consequences, the reconfiguring of the system is postponed to a later instant corresponding to the end of the critical stage. The invention applies mainly to the performing of digital computations.
