We describe a hardware device for supporting the sieving step in integer factoring algorithms like the quadratic sieve or the number field sieve. In analogy to Bernstein’s proposal for speeding up the linear algebra step, we rely on a mesh of very simple processing units. Manufacturing the device at moderate cost with current hardware technology on standard wafers with 200 mm or 300 mm diameter...

In this paper we argue that overlay multicast is an important technology for applications requiring a group communication service. With this approach end-hosts (running the application), dedicated servers and/or border routers automatically self-organize into a distribution topology where data is disseminated. This topology can be composed of both unicast connections and native multicast island...
