MANTRA I: a systolic neuro-computer
Marc A. Viredaz, Paolo Ienne · 2005
This paper presents the MANTRA I machine, a SIMD neuro-computer based on a square systolic array of dedicated processing elements (PEs). A VLSI custom chip, called GENES IV containing 2/spl times/2 PEs is at the heart of the system. This machine implements sufficient instruction and data flows to keep the array's utilization rate close to 100%.
