More Information
Summary:Systems and techniques are provided for hardware architecture used in parallel computing applications to improve computation efficiency. An integrated circuit system may include a data store that stores data for processing and a reconfigurable systolic array that may process the data. The reconfigurable systolic array may include a first row of processing elements (PE) that process the data according to a first function and a second row of PE that process the data according to a second function. The reconfigurable systolic array may also include a routing block coupled to the first row of PE, the second row of PE, and the data store. Further, the reconfigurable systolic array may receive data from the first row of PE, transmit the data received from the first row of PE to the second row of PE, and transmit data output by the second row of PE to the first row of PE.
