Abstract
A systolic array cell is described, the cell including two general-purpose arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and register-file. A plurality of the cells may be configured in a matrix or array, such that the output of the first ALU in a first cell is provided to a second cell to the right of the first cell, and the output of the second ALU in the first cell is provided to a third cell below the first cell. The two ALUs in each cell of the array allow for processing of a different instruction in each cycle.
