Abstract
The article presents the use of an FPGA chip (Xilinx 3090) to set up a fast systolic communication agent on a linear asynchronous network of transputer processors; the machine is called ArMen. The authors' work relies on the systolic programming environment ReLaCS, a close cousin to the C programming language. ReLaCS provides synchronous communication operators to simplify the programming of data transfers that occur in systolic algorithms. The ReLaCS compiler generates C programs that perform the computation process and the data management process of a systolic network.<>
