| dc.description.abstract | Previous Systolic/Wavefront array (SWA) design tools have focussed on either simulation or integrated circuit fabrication, but not on both. It is argued that specification, simulation and fabrication of these arrays should be integrated. Specification in one language must drive both simulation and fabrication. Potential errors in translating simulation specifications to silicon compilation would be eliminated. In this thesis, we introduce Systolic and Wavefront Array Definition Language (SWADL), which integrates specification, simulation, and fabrication of systolic and wavefront arrays. SWADL specifications are simple and abstract permiting high level design of SWA's. The design of SWADL, its compiler, and experience with its use are reported. | |
