My contribution to the project so far has been to consider the practical limits to fault-tolerant design from an information theoretic viewpoint. Alongside this my team has been developing a fault-tolerant massively-parallel architecture for spiking neural modelling, and we plan to use this design (or parts of it, depending on practical limitations) as a vehicle for the analysis of the effects of variability using the models, tools and techniques developed by our partners in this project.
