  • Computational method, system, and apparatus
    Patent number: 8024392
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for performing computations. In a method, arguments X and K are loaded into session memory, and X mod P and X mod Q are computed to give, respectively, XP and XQ. XP and XQ are exponentiated to compute, respectively, CP and CQ. CP and CQ are merged to compute C, which is then retrieved from the session memory. A system includes a computing device and at least one computational apparatus, wherein the computing device is configured to use the computational apparatus to perform accelerated computations. An apparatus includes a chaining controller and a plurality of computational devices. A first chaining subset of the plurality of computational devices includes at least two of the plurality of computational devices, and the chaining controller is configured to instruct the first chaining subset to operate as a first computational chain.
    Type: Grant

  • Application-specific information-processing method, system, and apparatus
    Patent number: 7913261
    Abstract: An information-processing method for application-specific processing of messages. A message is received. Whether the message is in a selected application format is ascertained. If not, the message is routed to a next location. If so, the message is routed to a selected application processor, processed by the processor, and routed to the next location.
