Use of unidirectional data flow in bit-level systolic array chips
John V McCanny, R.A. Evans, John G. McWhirter · Electronics Letters · 1986
We show how the architecture of two recently reported bit-level systolic array circuits—a single-bit coefficient correlator and a multibit convolver—may be modified to incorporate unidirectional data flow. This feature has some important advantages in terms of chip cascadability, fault tolerance and possible wafer-scale integration.
