The desire for faster, more powerful processing hardware has always existed. However, with embedded systems, power, energy and space utilization must also be considered. Recent advances in FPGAs allow designers a means for building single chip multiprocessor systems. The focus of this MQP was to examine the execution of the AES encryption algorithm on 3 different multiprocessor configurations: multiple-program multiple-data single-program multiple-data, and multiple-program multiple-data with shared memory. Specifically, the speed, throughput and resource utilization were compared and evaluated.
