Pragmatic approach to systolic design
S. Manohar, Gérard M. Baudet · IEE Proceedings E Computers and Digital Techniques · 1990
Limitations of current systolic designs are pointed out and new constraints are imposed to make systolic solutions practical. Matrix multiplication is used as an illustration, and a simple but very high performance systolic architecture, the supercoprocessor for matrix problems (S-MP), which satisfies these constraints is presented. Implementation alternatives for the linear systolic array for matrix-vector multiplication, which forms the core of the S-MP, are also described.
