Real time graphical simulation of systolic arrays

A new concept in visual simulation, the systolic arrays graphical simulator (SAGS), is presented. It allows for the visualization of the data and control flow in various systolic arrays on the monitor screen. The systolic architecture is constructed interactively from various basic cells and arrays. The simulator has successfully been used to simulate several well-known and new architectures and has even proven itself to be useful in finding and correcting an error in a well-publicized algorithm for general-purpose matrix computations that is currently being realized in hardware and can have potential applications that require extreme reliability.<>
