Two-level pipelined systolic array for multidimensional convolution

摘要

This paper describes a systolic array for the computation of n-dimensional (nD) convolutions for any positive integer n. Systolic systems usually achieve high performance by allowing computations to be pipelined over a large array of processing elements. To achieve even higher performance, the systolic array described in this paper uses a second level of pipelining by allowing the processing elements themselves to be pipelined to an arbitrary degree.
