rcsq - REDC squaring
SYNOPSIS
rcsq(x, m)
TYPES
x integer
m odd positive integer
return integer v, 0 <= v < m.
DESCRIPTION
Let B be the base calc uses for representing integers internally
(B = 2^16 for 32-bit machines, 2^32 for 64-bit machines)
and N the number of words (base-B digits) in the representation
of m. Then rcsq(x,m) returns the value of B^-N * x^2 % m,
where the inverse implicit in B^-N is modulo m
and the modulus operator % gives the least non-negative residue.
The normal use of rcsq() may be said to be that of squaring modulo m a
value encoded by rcin() and REDC functions, as in:
rcin(x^2, m) = rcsq(rcin(x,m), m)
from which we get:
x^2 % m = rcout(rcsq(rcin(x,m), m), m)
Alternatively, x^2 % m may be evaluated usually more quickly by:
x^2 % m = rcin(rcsq(x,m), m).
RUNTIME
If the value of m in rcsq(x,m) is being used for the first time in
a REDC function, the information required for the REDC algorithms
is calculated and stored for future use, possibly replacing an
already stored valued, in a table covering up to 5 (i.e. MAXREDC)
values of m. The runtime required for this is about two times that
required for multiplying two N-word integers.
Two algorithms are available for evaluating rcsq(x, m), the one
which is usually faster for small N is used when N <
config("redc2"); the other is usually faster for larger N. If
config("redc2") is set at about 90 and 0 <= x < m, the runtime
required for rcsq(x, m)i is at most about f times the runtime
required for an N-word by N-word multiplication, where f increases
from about 1.1 for N = 1 to near 2.8 for N > 90. More runtime may
be required if x has to be reduced modulo m.
EXAMPLE
Using a 64-bit machine with B = 2^32:
; for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) print rcsq(i,9),:; print;
0 7 1 0 4 4 0 1 7
; for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) print rcin((rcsq(i,9),:; print;
0 1 4 0 7 7 0 4 1
LIMITS
none
