The design is based on the plus-minus GCD algorithm and works in LSB pipelined manner. In contrast with previous designs, the length of the new array is independent of the length of the operands: arbitrary long integers can be processed in multiple passes. The array is auto-configurable: at each step, one new cell is configured according to the input from the previous computation. Preliminary experiments show that for 100 bits a speed-up of 4 over software can be obtained using one 6010 Atmel chip. =location= 2 =owner= 2 =source= 3 =reftype= 14
