Abstract
Techniques for single function stage Galois field (GF) computations are described. Such a single function stage GF multiplication technique may utilize only m-bits per internal logic stage, a savings of m−1 bits per logic stage that do not have to be accounted for as compared with a previous two function stage approach. Also, a common design GF multiplication cell is described that may be suitably used to construct an m-by-m GF multiplication array for the calculation of GF[2]/g[x]. In addition, these techniques are further described in the context of packed data form computation, very long instruction word (VLIW) processing, and processing on multiple processing elements in parallel.
