Optimization of reconfigurable SM2 algorithm over prime filed by Bin LI, Qinglei ZHOU, Xiaojie CHEN, Feng FENG

“…Aiming at the problems of inefficient of software, low utilization of hardware resources and poor scalability of SM2 algorithm, a reconfigurable optimization method of SM2 algorithm over prime filed was proposed.Through in-depth analysis of the SM2 algorithm, starting from different computation stages and characteristics, respectively using KOA fast multiplication, fast modular reduction and Barrett algorithm to achieve recommended or arbitrary parameters of the modular multiplication operation, and the radix-4 extended Euclidean algorithm was optimized and improved to accelerate the modular inverse operation.Then, in the standard projective coordinate system, the Montgomery method was used to improve the efficiency of point multiplication, and the data flow of point addition and double point was optimized to shorten the operation cycle to 12 clocks.At the same time, fast coordinate system conversion was realized inside the FPGA.Finally, the parallel scheduling management of multi-SM2 was designed and implemented to meet the computational requirements of multiple applications.The experimental results show that the optimized SM2 makes full use of FPGA resources and shortens the cycle of point multiplication.The maximum number of calculations per second is 352.48 times higher than the CPU (Intel i5-8300), which improves the performance and scalability.…”

Efficiency Improvement of a Microwave Power Transfer System with an Integrated Flat-Top Beamwidth Antenna and Rectifier by Seungmo Hong, Danh Manh Nguyen

“…The proposed structure consists of a magneto-electric ring dipole antenna fed by a pair of parallel lines and a class-F rectifier. For compactness and a low profile, the class-F rectifier was fully integrated into the backside of the antenna’s feeding mechanism while maintaining its uniform power radiation characteristics and impedance matching between the rectifier and antenna at 5.8 GHz. …”

Damage Mechanism and Wave Attenuation Induced by Blasting in Jointed Rock by Jie-Fang Song, Cai-Ping Lu, Xiu-Feng Zhang, Ying Guo, Hong-Wei Yang

“…Finally, an unjointed-rock-mass model and multiple parallel joint model are established to explore the attenuation of stress waves and damage effect of multiple joint rock mass, it is concluded that the larger the angle, the smaller is the particle peak velocity and amplitude attenuation, and as the number of stress waves passing through the joints increases, the amplitude gradually decreases and the high-frequency amplitude decreases more significantly than the low-frequency amplitude. …”
