Abstract :
Limitations of current systolic designs are pointed out, and 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 Superprocessor for Matrix Problems (S-MP), that satisfies these constraints is presented. Implementation alternatives for the linear systolic array for matrix-vector multiplication, which forms the core of S-MP are described
