Agile PBC co-design framework paper is accepted by ISCA 2025!

👏Paper title: Finesse: An Agile Design Framework for Pairing-based Cryptography via Software/Hardware Co-Design. This work tackles the challenges of lengthy design cycles and high re-engineering costs in PBC accelerators, which hinder adaptation to evolving cryptographic demands. Finesse introduces a co-design framework featuring a unified IR/ISA/hardware abstraction, a parameterized pipelined architecture, and an optimizing compiler. This enables rapid iteration and efficient design space exploration. Finesse achieves up to 6.2x higher iso-area throughput than prior flexible designs, and outperforms specialized ASICs by up to 3.2×. [Related Project]
