Super systolic array

The super systolic array is a generalization of the systolic array. Because the classical synthesis methods (algebraic, i. e. projection-based synthesis), yielding only uniform DPU arrays permitting only linear pipes, systolic arrays could be used only to implement applications with regular data dependencies. By using simulated annealing instead, Rainer Kress has introduced the generalized systolic array: the super systolic array. Its application is not restricted to applications with regular data dependencies.
