Abstract
Several time-optimal and spacetime-optimal systolic arrays are presented for computing a process dependence graph corresponding to the Aitken algorithm. It is shown that these arrays also can be used to compute the generalized divided differences, i.e., the coefficients of the Hermite interpolating polynomial. Multivariate generalized divided differences are shown to be efficiently computed on a 2-dimensional systolic array. The techniques also are applied to the Neville algorithm, producing similar results.
Zusammenfassung
Zur Berechnung eines zum Aitken-Algorithmus gehörigen Prozeßabhängigkeitsgraphen werden einige Zeit-optimale und Raum-Zeit-optimale systolische Felder vorgestellt. Es wird gezeigt, daß man diese Felder auch zur Berechnung verallgemeinerter dividierter Differenzen verwenden kann, wie sie als Koeffizienten des Hermiteschen Interpolationspolynoms auftreten. Die effiziente Berechnung multivariater verallgemeinerter dividierter Differenzen auf einem zweidimensionalen systolischen Feld wird gezeigt. Für den Neville-Algorithmus ergeben die Techniken ähnliche Ergebnisse.
