This paper presents an area-optimized FPGA architecture of the Montgomery modular multiplication algorithm on a low power reconfigurable IGLOO © 2 FPGA of Microsemi ©. Our contributions consist of the mapping of the Montgomery algorithm to the specific architecture of the target FPGA, using the pipelined Math blocks and the embedded memory blocks. We minimize the occupation of these blocks as w...

Our toolchain for accelerating application called Courier-FPGA, is designed for utilize the processing power of CPU-FPGA platforms for software programmers and non-expert users. It automatically gathers runtime information of library functions from a running target binary, and constructs the function call graph including input-output data. Then, it uses corresponding predefined hardware modules...

This paper presents a hardware architecture for UNIX password cracking using Hellman’s time-memory trade-off; it is the first hardware design for a key search machine based on the rainbow variant proposed by Oechslin. The implementation target is the Berkeley BEE2 FPGA platform which can run at 400 million password calculations/second. Our design targets passwords of length 48 bits (out of 56)....

Medical images requires huge amount of storage space especially volumetric medical images such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images. The amount of data produced by these techniques is vast and they utilize maximum bandwidth for transmission that often results in degradation of image quality. Image squeezing demands high speed architectures for transformation and encodi...

The task of identifying objects in images is a common requirement for many image processing systems. The identification of these objects (also called models) is in some contexts called automatic target recognition (ATR). Target Recognition algorithms are well suited to hardware field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementations because of their extensive use of bitlevel operations and their a...

Stochastic characteristics of wind power generation may lead to reliability and power quality problems in power systems. This paper presents two control schemes considering state-of-charge (SOC) in the energy storage system for the wind-turbine-generator: constant power mode and power balance mode. Because the response of energy storage system is not fast enough, estimated coming wind power is ...
