A unified systolic design technique based on integral matrix theory
Flavio Lorenzelli, Kaiyuan Yao · 2002
A systematic mapping procedure for systolic arrays is considered. Integral matrix theory provides the basic concepts used to define projection and scheduling vectors. Unimodular matrices are defined which describe projection, timing, and bases for the processor space and the isochronous hyperplanes. The same mathematical tools furnish the rigorous definition of the partitioning block structure, as well as the cluster set. Folding and design constraints can also be included, and are briefly considered. The possible application of a systolic design for low power requirements is also discussed.>
