From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   systolic array
  
      (By analogy with the regular pumping
      of blood by the heart) An arrangement of processors in an
      array (often rectangular) where data flows synchronously
      across the array between neighbours, usually with different
      data flowing in different directions.   H. T. Kung and Charles
      Leiserson publish the first paper describing systolic arrays
      in 1978 [reference?].
  
      Each processor at each step takes in data from one or more
      neighbours (e.g. North and West), processes it and, in the
      next step, outputs results in the opposite direction (South
      and East).
  
      An example of a systolic {algorithm} might be matrix
      multiplication.   One matrix is fed in a row at a time from the
      top of the array and is passed down the array, the other
      matrix is fed in a column at a time from the left hand side of
      the array and passes from left to right.   Dummy values are
      then passed in until each processor has seen one whole row and
      one whole column.   At this point, the result of the
      multiplication is stored in the array and can now be output a
      row or a column at a time, flowing down or accross the array.
