Abstract: A pipelined-systolic SIMD array processing architecture includes an array of processing elements, registers-delays, and multiplexers. One or more of the registers-delays having one or more registers are added to the input and output ends of the processing elements for transferring data, with broadcasting and systolic methods being combined to transfer data into and out of the processing elements. By utilizing a single control unit, the functionalities of computation, shifting, transferring and accessing, achieving faster speed in data processing and accessing, and switching circuits may be added between the input/output ends of the processing elements and the registers-delay arrays, so as to transfer data even faster.

Abstract: A pipelined SIMD-systolic array processor and its methods, mainly comprising a number of processing elements constructed as array architecture, multiport memory, registers, multiplexers, and controller, wherein the registers and multiplexers are connected for transferring data between the multiport memory and processing elements, the methods thereof uses a way which combines both broadcasting and systolic structures for transferring data into and out each processing element, and moreover, the method uses the controller to manipulate data transferring and the operation of each processing element for various functions; the array processor can have a faster processing speed and, through using a multiport memory, each processing element requires only a small amount of storage, and therefore, the array processor can use memory in a more efficient way.
