Comprehensive testing of any implementation of the RSA cryptosystem requires the use of a number of moduli with specific properties. It is shown how to generate a sufficient varie...
A digit-recurrence algorithm for computing the Euclidean norm of a 3-dimensional vector is proposed. Starting from the vector component with the highest order of magnitude as the ...
In modern computers, the floating point unit is the part of the processor delivering the highest computing power and getting most attention from the design team. Performance of an...
The floating-point unit of a S/390 CMOS microprocessor is described. It contains a 116 bit fraction dataflow for addition and subtraction and a 64 bit-wide multiplier. Besides the...
The IA-64 architecture provides new opportunities and challenges for implementing an improved set of transcendental functions. Using several novel polynomial-based table-driven te...
