Design and chip implementation of the ubiquitous processor HCgorilla

This paper describes the chip design and implementation of a special processor architecture, HCgorilla. It is a hardware cryptography-embedded multimedia mobile processor dedicated for ubiquitous computing. This is supported by multiple pipelines composed of media and cipher pipes. Media pipes are user friendly due to Java compatibility. Cipher pipes are suited to cryptographic streaming due to random number addressing. The chip design follows power conscious wave-pipelining and seeks test simplification. The chip implementation uses a CMOS standard cell technology.
