  • Floating-point systolic array including serial processors
    Patent number: 4872133
    Abstract: A systolic array including chips having interface and timing and control circuitry and a plurality of processing elements. Each of the processing elements includes a floating-point serial processor and a plurality of data storage registers. The data storage registers in all of the elements communicate through a gridwork of data buses and all data registers and processing elements are programmed through a global bus. Software is simplified because algorithms are implemented directly in the new architecture.
