Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

Creator:: Elmougy, Samir
Abstract:: In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

Single-level dynamic register caching architecture for high-performance superscalar processors

Creator:: Liebert, John A.
Abstract:: The amount of instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited depends greatly on the size of the instruction window and the number of in-flight instructions the processor can support. However, this requires a register file with a large set of physical registers for renaming and multiple ports to provide...

Side channel attack resistant elliptic curves cryptosystem on multi-cores for power efficiency

Creator:: Yoo, Jaewon
Abstract:: The Advent of multi-cores allows programs to be executed much faster than before. Cryptoalgorithms use long-bit words thus parallelizing these operations on multi-cores will achieve significant performance improvement. However, not all long-bit word operations in cryptosystems are suitable for parallel execution on multi-cores. In particular, long-bit words used in Elliptic...
