Bit-Serial Inner Product Processors in VLSI

摘要

In this paper we describe a bit-serial pipelined implementation of an inner product processor,udand related interconnections of a number of such processors on a single chip. We argueudthat bit-serial computational models are particularly suited for VLSI, because of relatively inexpensiveudcommunication links and arithmetic processing elements, in terms of the area occupiedudon silicon. Sixteen inner product processors, described here, may be easily placed on a singleud40-pin chip in today's NMOS technology with a 2 micron lambda. Similar arguments for bitserialudarithmetic were used in [3]. in a description of a design of a general purpose massivelyudparallel processor.
