Acceleration of Polynomial Matrix Multiplication on Zynq-7000 System-on-Chip

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a second-generation hardware solution which boasts more versatility, efficiency and scalability compared to our previous design. This is achieved through the design of a highly versatile PMM accelerator which supports polynomial matrices of any size, as a component of the embedded system developed within the Xilinx Zynq-7000 AP SoC. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our novel SoC-based PMM accelerator in the context of a generic problem, where a maximum speed-up of $\approx 67\times$ is accomplished, without compromising the accuracy.
