Instruction systolic array
In contrast to the systolic array, an instruction systolic array (ISA) is a grid-like network of the simplest computation units ( processors ), which is characterized by the fact that the commands are pumped through from one corner in synchronous waves ( systolic ) according to the single instruction multiple principle Data ( SIMD ). An ISA is a simple and therefore particularly fast architecture for calculations. The difficulty here is programming suitable algorithms .
