October, 2024 – Dr. Tanvir Arafin presented new work from the C5I center: SANTA: A Spatial Accelerator Design for Efficient Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) on Heterogeneous System-on-Chips on CCS-ASHES 2024 at Utah (http://ashesworkshop.org/workshop-program). This paper presents SANTA, the world’s first accelerator for number theoretic transform (NTT) computation on AMD’s Versal® Adaptive System on Chip (ASoC), an edge-application-oriented spatial computation system. For a 4096-point NTT, SANTA demonstrates 2.8xspeed gain over the state-of-the-art CPU implementation. You can find this work’s open-source codes at https://github.com/SPIRE-GMU/ACAP_NTT
