RC4 can be made more secured if an additional RC4-like Post-KSA Random Shuffing (PKRS) process is introduced between KSA and PRGA. It can also be made significantly faster if RC4 bytes are processed in a FPGA embedded system using multiple…
A single-cycle processor completes the execution of an instruction in only one clock cycle. However, its clock period is usually rather long. On the contrary, although clock frequency is higher in a multi-cycle processor, it takes several…
General-purpose programmable photonic processors are considered a crucial technology because they combine the ultra high-speed, massive bandwidth, and energy efficiency of light-based computing with the flexibility of software-defined…
Recent safety standards set stringent requirements for the target fault coverage in embedded microprocessors, with the objective to guarantee robustness and functional safety of the critical electronic systems. This motivates the need for…
Modern physics experiments often utilize FPGA-based systems for real-time data acquisition. Integrated analog electronics demand for complex calibration routines. Furthermore, versatile configuration and control of the whole system is a key…
With the shrinking of technology nodes and the use of parallel processor clusters in hostile and critical environments, such as space, run-time faults caused by radiation are a serious cross-cutting concern, also impacting architectural…
Bit-serial Processing-In-Memory (PIM) is an attractive paradigm for accelerator architectures, for parallel workloads such as Deep Learning (DL), because of its capability to achieve massive data parallelism at a low area overhead and…
Analog Computing-in-Memory (ACIM) is an emerging architecture to perform efficient AI edge computing. However, current ACIM designs usually have unscalable topology and still heavily rely on manual efforts. These drawbacks limit the ACIM…
