Because most obfuscated strings are very long, the maximum
word size of the parameter in the target function can be calculated.
time to compute a constant number of operations on integers of mb bits using a
word size of w bits.
These tend to have larger CPU
word sizes and more memory than single-user systems, and they are more expensive.
While no choice was clearly superior, some choices were clearly bad, such as the choice of 8 for a
word size of 32 bits.
We used only patterns that are smaller than the computer
word size, thus the comparisons to other algorithms are not general and may not be fair.
Simply doubling the
word size of a computer without even making it faster (other things being equal) can speed up factoring algorithms by a factor of 4.
Additional characteristics like
word size were also collected but subsequently dropped when they proved to provide no significant additional information.
Code can be generated for signals and parameters with
word sizes from one to 128 bits.
Mark Rubenstein, VicePresident and Director of Human Resources; Question 1: "One
word sizes up today's financing situation - inadequate.
Supports
Word Sizes Up to 128 Bits to Facilitate More Accurate Design
This allows users to set input and output
word sizes to and from the FIFO, independently.
