Comparison between implementations efficiency of HLS and HDL using operations over Galois Fields

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis between the implementations of the important operation over Galois Fields GF(2n): division and multiplication. The analysis focuses on the comparison of HLS (High Level Synthesis) and HDL (Hardware Description Language) implementations in the following areas: the size of the implemented digital circuit; the frequency and the latency of the design; how straightforward is the implementation and how simple is to modify the design.
