Bit-level systolic array for fast exponentiation in GF(2/sup m/)
Chin-Liang Wang · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1994
This paper presents a new parallel-in-parallel-out bit-level systolic array with unidirectional data flow for computing exponentiation in GF(2/sup m/). The array is highly regular, modular, and thus well suited to very-large-scale-integration implementation. In addition, it can provide the maximum throughput in the sense of producing new results at a rate of one per clock cycle. As compared with a previously known systolic GF(2/sup m/) exponentiator with the same throughput performance, the proposed system requires much less chip area, has small latency, and is easier to incorporate fault-tolerant design.>
