Engineering and Scientific Computation Accelerator (ESCA) is a heterogeneous multi-core architecture to accelerate computation-intensive parallel computing in scientific and engineering applications. This paper described an implementation of Laplace transform on the hybrid system based on ESCA coprocessor, and the performance of Laplace transform on the quad-core prototype ESCA was exploited. The experimental results show that the ESCA can accelerate program of compute-intensive applications fairly well.

The available security mechanisms for the low-cost Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are either defective or high-cost. Therefore, this paper proposed an efficient security authentication protocol for low-cost RFID system based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) and Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). The protocol provides strong security and can resist physical attack and tag clone with strong privacy.
