Programming systolic arrays
Richard Hughey · 2003
This paper presents the New Systolic Language as a general solution to the problem of systolic programming. The language provides a simple programming interface for systolic algorithms suitable for different hardware platforms and software simulators. The New Systolic Language hides the details and potential hazards of inter-processor communication, allowing data flow only via abstract systolic data streams. Data flows and systolic cell programs for the co-processor are integrated with host functions, enabling a single file to specify a complete systolic program.>
