Hardware does not supports 2 dimensional arrays :)
Therefore, when you write something like:
z := array [x,y]  , compiler decomposing this code to following:

z:= singleDimentionArrayPointer[x*numCols + y]

in same way, in slang you can use a linear buffer of floats, and write
access routine which taking two indexes, but then translating them to
single index in your buffer, and voila - you have a two-dimentional
matrices :)
