A method to synthesize modular systolic arrays with local broadcast facility

The author proposes a method to synthesize modular systolic arrays with local broadcast facility (i.e. arrays containing wires of length lower than a fixed -technology dependent- constant). The synthesis is made from a dependence graph which is not uniform but `locally broadcast´. This method aims at generalizing isolated results that have been recently reported on the acceleration of systolic algorithms by using extensions of the `pure´ systolic model (wire of length>1, wrap around, folding arrays, etc)
