An Efficient Implementation of Advanced- Encryption-Standard Based on a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Processor

This paper presents a new approach to implement the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), in the course, a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Processor, also called Reconfigurable CryptoProcessor is used to accomplish this assignment. The processor has been proved to be a candidate for cryptographic application. The prominent advantage of this processor is its high performance on cipher calculation ta...

Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Architecture

This paper examines the challenges of mapping applications on to a Coarsegrained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA). Through crowd sourcing through a simple game and using the movement data from successful players the research project plans to produce better mappings, or improve existing algorithms through common patterns by the most successful players. This paper also examines the case studies...

Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array Architectures

Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) architectures accelerate the same inner loops that benefit from the high ILP support in VLIW architectures. By executing non-loop code on other cores, however, CGRAs can focus on such loops to execute them more efficiently. This chapter discusses the basic principles of CGRAs, and the wide range of design options available to a CGRA designer, covering ...
