Abstract:
1. A method for calculating a remainder by division of a sequence of bytes interpreted as a first number by a second number, the method comprising: reading a first subset of a sequence of bytes from a memory, and calculating and storing an associated first remainder by division with a first hardware processor device, wherein the first remainder is stored in the memory location from which the first subset was read; reading a second subset of the sequence of bytes from the memory, and calculating and storing an associated second remainder by division with a second hardware processor device, wherein the second remainder is stored in the memory location from which the second subset was read; reading the first and second remainders from the memory, and calculating and storing a third remainder by division with the first hardware processor device based on the calculating of the first remainder by division and the calculating of the second remainder by division, wherein the third remainder is stored in the memory location from which the first and second remainders were read; reading a third subset of the sequence of bytes from the memory, and calculating and storing an associated fourth remainder by division with a third hardware processor device, wherein the calculating of the fourth remainder by division occurs at least partially during the calculating of the second remainder by division, and wherein the fourth remainder is stored in the memory location from which the third subset was read; reading a fourth subset of the sequence of bytes from the memory, and calculating and storing an associated fifth remainder by division with a fourth hardware processor device, wherein the calculating of the fifth remainder by division occurs at least partially during the calculating of the fourth remainder by division, and wherein the fifth remainder is stored in the memory location from which the fourth subset was read; reading the fourth and fifth remainders from the memory, and calculating and storing a sixth remainder by division with the third hardware processor device based on the calculating of the fourth remainder by division and the calculating of the fifth remainder by division, wherein the calculating of the sixth remainder by division occurs after the calculating of the fourth remainder by division and the calculating of the fifth remainder by division, wherein calculating the sixth remainder by division occurs at least partially during the calculating of the third remainder by division, and wherein the sixth remainder is stored in the memory location from which the fourth and fifth remainders were read; and reading the third and sixth remainders from the memory, and calculating and storing a seventh remainder by division with the first hardware processor device based on the calculating of the third remainder by division and the calculating of the sixth remainder by division, and receiving an output from the third processor device, wherein the calculating of the seventh remainder by division occurs after the calculating of the third remainder by division and the calculating of the sixth remainder by division, and wherein the seventh remainder is stored in the memory location from which the third and sixth remainders were read.
