Since 2005, processor designers have increased core counts to exploit Moore’s Law scaling, rather than focusing on single-core performance. The failure of Dennard scaling, to wh...
Today, the BitTorrent Peer-to-Peer file-sharing network is one of the largest Internet applications--it generates massive traffic volumes, it is deployed in thousands of independe...
high NRE cost. Therefore, general purpose programmable processors using software to perform various functions become more attractive since programmability can simplify system devel...
Cryptanalysis of ciphers usually involves massive computations. The security parameters of cryptographic algorithms are commonly chosen so that attacks are infeasible with availabl...
The advent of general purpose graphics processing units (GPGPU's) brings about a whole new platform for running numerically intensive applications at high speeds. Their multi-...
