Design of the PSC: A Programmable Systolic Chip
1983
The programmable
systolicchip (PSC) is a high performance, special-purpose, single-chip
microprocessorintended to be used in groups of tens or hundreds for the efficient implementation of a broad variety of
systolic arrays. For implementing these
systolic arrays, the PSC is expected to be at least an order of magnitude more efticient than conventional
microprocessors, llie development of the PSC design, from initial concept to a silicon layout, took slightly less than a year, This project represents an integration of many disciplines including applications, algorithms, architecture,
microprocessordesign, and chip layout. This paper describes the goals of the project, tlie design process, major design features and current status.
