This paper presents an implementation method of Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) decoder using a general-purpose multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP), TMS320C6670. Although the DSP provides some useful coprocessors such as turbo decoder, fast Fourier transformer, Viterbi Coprocessor, Bit Rate Coprocessor etc., it is specific to the base station platform implementation not the mobile terminal platform implementation. This paper shows an implementation method of the LTE-A PDSCH decoder using programmable DSP cores as well as the coprocessors of Fast Fourier Transformer and turbo decoder. First, it uses the coprocessor supported by the TMS320C6670, which can be used for PDSCH implementation. Second, we propose a core programming method using DSP optimization method for block diagram of PDSCH that can not use coprocessor. Through the implementation, we have verified a real-time decoding feasibility for the LTE-A downlink physical channel using test vectors which have been generated from LTE-A Reference Measurement Channel (RMC) Waveform R.6.

This paper proposes a reconfigurable coprocessor for communication systems, which can perform high speed computations and various functions. The proposed reconfigurable coprocessor can easily implement communication operations, such as scrambling, interleaving, convolutional encoding, Viterbi decoding, FFT, etc. The proposed architecture has been modeled by VHDL and synthesized using the SEC 0.18$\mu$m standard cell library. The gate count is about 35,000 gates and the critical path is 3.84ns. The proposed coprocessor can reduced about $33\%$ for FFT operations and complex MAC, $37\%$ for Viterbi operations, and $48\%\~84\%$ for scrambling and convolutional encoding for the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard compared with existing DSPs. The proposed coprocessor shows Performance improvements compared with existing DSP chips for communication algorithms.

In this paper CPLD design of cryptographic coprocessor which implements SEED algorithm is described. To satisfy trade-off between area and speed, the coprocessor has structure in which 1 round operation is divided into three subrounds and then each subround is executed using one clock. To improve clock frequency, online precomputation scheme for round key is used. To apply the coprocessor to various applications, four operating modes such as ECB, CBC, CFB, and OFB are supported. The cryptographic coprocessor is designed using Altera EPF10K100GC503-3 CPLD device and its operation is verified by encryption or decryption of text files through ISA bus interface. It consists of about 29,300 gates and performance of CPLD chip is about 44 Mbps encryption or decryption rate under 18 Mhz clock frequency and ECB mode.

This paper describes the design of elliptic curve crypto (ECC) coprocessor over binary fields for ECC protocols. Our ECC processor provides the elliptic curve operations for Diffie-Hellman, EC Elgamal and ECDSA protocols. The ECC we have implemented is defined over the fieTd GF(2$\^$163/),which is a SEC-2 recommendation［6］.

This research aims at developing a single chip multiprocessor for high-performance computer system. Our design approach is to design a relatively small and simple processor unit and to integrate multiple copies of the unit in an efficient way. The proposed multiprocessor is composed of four CPUs and one graphic coprocessor. The four CPUs share the graphic coprocessor and each CPU implements the 64-bit SPARC-V9 instruction set architecture. This paper gives an overview of the proposed microarchitecture and discusses the considerations made in the course of the design.

To implement the continuously evolving mobile communication standards such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G, the Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept provides great flexibility and efficiency. For many years, a high-end Digital Signal Processor (DSP) System on Chip (SoC) has been developed to support multicore and various hardware coprocessors. This paper introduces the implementation of the SDR platform hardware using TI's TCI663x chip. Using the platform, LTE transport channel is implemented by interworking multicore DSP with Bit rate Coprocessor (BCP) and Turbo Decoder Coprocessor (TCP) and the performance is evaluated according to various implementation options. In order to evaluate the performance of the implemented LTE transport channel, LTE base station system was constructed by combining FPGA main board for physical channels, SDR platform board, and RF & Antenna board.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a hyperelliptic curve cryptography (HECC) coprocessor over affine and projective coordinates, along with measurements of its performance, hardware complexity, and power consumption. We applied several design techniques, including parallelism, pipelining, and loop unrolling, in designing field arithmetic units, group operation units, and scalar multiplication units to improve the performance and power consumption. Our affine and projective coordinate-based HECC processors execute in 0.436 ms and 0.531 ms, respectively, based on the underlying field GF($2^{89}$). These results are about five times faster than those for previous hardware implementations and at least 13 times better in terms of area-time products. Further results suggest that neither case is superior to the other when considering the hardware complexity and performance. The characteristics of our proposed HECC coprocessor show that it is applicable to high-speed network applications as well as resource-constrained environments, such as PDAs, smart cards, and so on.

In this paper, a research is focused on implementation of the handwritten Korean-character recognition system using a neural coprocessor for PDA application. The proposed coprocessor is composed of a digital neural network called DMNN and a RISC-based dedicated controller in order to achieve high speed as well as compactness. Two neural networks are used for recognition, one for stroke classification out of extended 11 strokes and the other for grapheme classification. Our experimental result shows that the successful recognition rate of 92.1% over 3,000 characters written by 10 persons can be obtained. Moreover, it can be improved to 95.3% when four candidates are considered. The design verification of tile proposed neural coprocessor is conducted using the ASIC emulator for further hardware implementation.

정보 통신 기술의 발전이 우리 생활을 편리하게 만들고 있지만, 한편으로는 해킹, 도청 등의 부작용이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 부작용을 최소화시키는 결정적인 역할을 하는 분야가 암호 학이다. 현재의 정보 보호 시스템 대부분이 소프트웨어 방식으로 구현되어 있어 암호화 속도 문제 및 해킹에 의한 불법 정보 유출의 위험성이 높은 현실이다. 이러한 점을 해결하기 위해 암호 알고리즘의 하드웨어 구현은 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 암호 알고리즘의 속도 및 안전성 문제를 향상시키기 위해 기존에 많이 이용되고 있는 3-DES를 32 비트 데이터 버스를 이용한 하드웨어로 선계 및 구현하여 검증하고 성능 분석을 하였다.
