Core-A microprocessor is the all-Korean product designed as 32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor developed by KAIST and supported by the Industrial Property Office. This paper analyze Core-A microprocessor architecture and proposes efficient method to interface Core-A microprocessor with coprocessor. To verify proposed interfacing method, the AES cryptography processor that has 128-bit key and block size is used as a coprocessor. Coprocessor and AES are written in Verilog-HDL and verified using Modelsim simulator. It except AES module consists of about 3,743 gates and its maximum operating frequency is about 90Mhz under 0.35um CMOS technology. The proposed coprocessor interface architecture is efficiency to send data or to receive data from Core-A to coprocessor.

In this paper, the design of a VLSI-based multilayer neural network is presented, which can be used as a dedicated hardware for character-type segmentation and character-element recogniti on consuming large processing time in conventional software-based Hangul printed-character recognition systems. Also the architecture and its design of a neural coprocessor interfacing the neural network with a host computcr and controlling thc neural network are presented. The architecture, behavior, and performance of the proposed neural coprocessor are justified using VHDL modeling and simulation. Experimental results show the successful rates of character-type segmentation and character-element recognition is competitive to those of software-based Hangul printed-character recognition systems with retaining high-speed.

In this paper a design of cryptographic coprocessor which implements SEED algorithm is described. To satisfy trade-off between area and speed, the coprocessor has structure in which 1 round operation is divided into three subrounds and then subround is executed for one clock. To improve clock frequency online precomputation scheme for round key is used. To apply the coprocessor to various applications, four operating modes such as ECB, CBC, CFB, and OFB are supported. Also to eliminate performance degradation due to data input and data output time between host computer and coprocesor, background input/output method is used. The cryptographic coprocessor is designed using $0.25{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology and consists of about 29,300 gates. Its peak performance is about 237 Mbps encryption or decryption rate under 100 Mhz clock frequncy and ECB mode.

This paper describes the design of elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) coprocessor over binary fields for the If card. This coprocessor is implemented by the shift-and-add algorithm for the field multiplication algorithm. And the modified almost inverse algorithm(MAIA) is selected for the inverse multiplication algorithm. These two algorithms is merged to minimize the hardware size. Scalar multiplication is performed by the binary Non Adjacent Format(NAF) method. The ECC we have implemented is defined over the field GF(2$^{163}$), which is a SEC-2 recommendation［7］..

In this paper, we present a coprocessor that can operate with ARM microprocessors. The coprocessor supports IEEE 754 standard single- and double-precision binary floating point arithmetic operations. The design objective is to achieve minimum-area, low-power and acceleration of processing power of ARM microprocessors. The instruction set is compatible with ARM7500FE. The coprocessor is written in verilog HDL and synthesized by the SYNOPSYS Design Compiler. The gate count is 38,115 and critical path delay is 9.52ns.

In this paper, we propose a novel reconfigurable coprocessor for multimedia mobile terminals. Because most of multimedia operations require fast operations of large amount of data in the limited clock frequency, it is necessary to enhance the performance of the embedded processor that is widely used in current multimedia mobile terminals. Therefore, we proposed and have designed the coprocessor which had the ability of fast operations of multimedia data. The proposed coprocessor was not only reconfigurable, but also flexible and expandable. The proposed coprocessor has been designed by using VHDL and compared with previous reconfigurable coprocessors and a commercial embedded processor in architecture and speed. As a result of the architectural comparison, the proposed coprocessor had better structure in terms of hardware size and flexibility. Also, the simulation results of DCT application showed that the proposed coprocessor was 26 times faster than a commercial ARM processor and 11 times faster than the ARM processor with fast DCT core.

In this paper, a VLIW(Very Long Instruction Word) vision coprocessor which can efficiently accelerate computer vision algorithm for automotive is designed. The VLIW coprocessor executes four instructions per clock cycle via 8-stage pipelined structure and has 36 integer and floating-point instructions to accelerate computer vision algorithm for pedestrian detection. The processor has about 300-MHz operating frequency and about 210,900 gates under 45nm CMOS technology and its estimated performance is 1.2 GOPS(Giga Operations Per Second). The vision system composed of vision primitive engine and eight VLIW coprocessors can execute pedestrian detection at 25~29 frames per second(FPS). Because the VLIW coprocessor has high detection rate and loosely coupled interface with host processor, it can be efficiently applicable to a wide range of vision applications.
