An Embedded Accelerator for Real World Computing
Reiner W. Hartenstein, Jürgen Becker, Michael Eric Herz, Ulrich Nageldinger · 1997
This paper presents a new general purpose accelerator based on the Kress ALU Array III (KrAA-III) — a novel field programmable ALU array (FPAA), which efficiently supports high performance arithmetic computations by massive pipelining. The KrAA-III and its underlying concepts will be introduced as a generalization of systolic array structural principles — illustrated by a simple real world computing example. To explain this approach for embedded accelerators the underlying novel machine paradigm, having been published earlier, is recalled as far as needed for comprehensibility.
