Four thousand years ago, the Babylonians invented multiplication. Last month, mathematicians perfected it. On March 18, two researchers described the fastest method ever discovered for multiplying two ...

Abstract: This paper presents two improved modular multiplication algorithms: variable length Interleaved modular multiplication (VLIM) algorithm and parallel modular multiplication (P_MM) method ...

This project is a proof-of-concept showing that formal verification of bitcoin-core/secp256k1 is possible. The secp256k1 library sits at the heart of Bitcoin. Every signature check depends on it being ...

Why Use the CORDIC Algorithm? The CORDIC algorithm is a hardware-efficient method for calculating a wide range of elementary functions, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, and linear operations. Its ...

People tend to obsess over making computer software faster. You can, of course, just crank up the clock speed and add more processors, but often the most powerful way to make something faster is to ...
