Abstract: Generation of test data for verifying a modular correction of a modular multiplication performed by a multiplier unit for very wide operands includes performing, by a multiplier unit using a computer, a modular multiplication by correcting a binary multiplication of two operands by a coarse-grained and a fine-grained correction. The computer selects adjacent intervals of the intermediate result, defines a sub-interval closely around a boundary between the adjacent intervals, and selects a value in the sub-interval. Moreover, the computer uses a first factorization algorithm for the value V for determining operands A?, B?, where the modular multiplication result of the operands corrected by the coarse-grained correction is in the sub-interval. The computer repeatedly determines A? plus varying ?-values as A? values, and determines B? values, so that the modular multiplication corrected by the coarse-grained correction is in the sub-interval.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of operating a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) arrangement for a processor supporting virtual addressing, wherein multiple translation engines are used to perform translations on request of one of a plurality of dedicated processor units. The method comprises: maintaining by a cache unit a dependency matrix for the engines to track for each processing unit if an engine is assigned to the each processing unit for a table walk. The cache unit may block a processing unit from allocating an engine to a translation request when the engine is already assigned to the processing unit in the dependency matrix.
