C-STOLIC
The C-stolic language has been developed to provide the designer of systolic
architectures with a simple and an efficient simulation tool:
- the simplicity comes from the extension of a well known
language: C. It requires only a few key words
and respects the original philosophy of C.
- the efficiency is due to the direct control of the most
critical elements of a systolic simulation: the communications
and the partitionning.
C-stolic is a data-parallelism language, with synchronous communication
operators which reflect the internal data transfer in a linear array,
as well as the I/O communications.
The compiler has been designed to generate code for various
architectures, especially for parallel machines.
