The design of systolic arrays for implementing Affine Recurrence Equations is being carried out. The goals of this research are (a) the design of an automated system for generating systolic architectures from Affine Recurrence Equations and for interfacing with existing VLSI layout tools; (b) the synthesis of systolic arrays that allows the design of complicated systolic arrays consisting of a number of sub- arrays in cascade. New systolic architectures can be designed using the theory developed. The system designed also serves as a testbed for the new theory. Systolic arrays are an important class of parallel architectures that have shown great promise for exploiting the advances in VLSI technology. Since they are problem specific, the development of automated tools for synthesizing them from high-level specifications is very important. This research is directed towards Affine Recurrence Equations, which covers a general class of practical problems. The principal investigator is a new Ph.D. who already has significant progress in his research. The research focuses on important and timely topics. Support is highly recommended.

实现仿射递推方程的脉动阵列的设计正在进行中。这项研究的目标是(A)设计一个从仿射递归方程生成脉动结构并与现有VLSI布局工具接口的自动化系统；(B)脉动阵列的综合，它允许设计由许多级联的子阵列组成的复杂的脉动阵列。利用发展起来的理论可以设计出新的脉动结构。所设计的系统也是新理论的试验台。脉动阵列是一类重要的并行体系结构，在利用VLSI技术的进步方面表现出了巨大的潜力。因为它们是特定于问题的，所以开发从高级规范中综合它们的自动化工具是非常重要的。本研究针对的是仿射递推方程，它涵盖了一类一般的实际问题。首席研究员是一名新博士，他的研究已经取得了重大进展。研究集中在重要而及时的主题上。强烈建议您提供支持。
