The document compares Array Processors and Systolic Arrays, highlighting two types of Array Processors: Attached Array Processors, which enhance general-purpose computers for numerical tasks, and SIMD Array Processors, which utilize multiple parallel processors under a single control unit. Systolic Arrays consist of numerous identical processing elements arranged in structured arrays, emphasizing characteristics like parallel computing and synchronous evaluation. Both architectures aim to improve computational performance through parallel processing techniques.

Compare Array

Processors &
Systolic Arrays
Array Processor :

• There are 2 types of Array Processor :


1) Attached Array Processor
2) SIMD Array Processor
1) Attached Array Processor

The attached array processor is the auxiliary processor connected to a general-


purpose computer to enhance and improve the machine's performance in numerical
computational tasks. It provides excellent performance by using numerous
functional units in parallel processing.

2) SIMD Array Processor

SIMD refers to the organization of a single computer with multiple parallel


processors. The processing units are designed to work together under the
supervision of a single control unit, resulting in a single instruction stream and
multiple data streams
Systolic Arrays :

• In a systolic array, there are a large number of identical simple


processors or processing elements(PEs) that are arranged in a well-
organized structure such as a linear or two-dimensional array. Each
processing element is connected with the other PEs and has limited
private storage.
• Characteristics:
1)Parallel Computing
2)Pipelinability
3)Synchronous evaluation
