• In this paper, we present the Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic Library - ArPALib, suitable for algorithms that require integer data representation with an arbitrary bit-width (up to 4096-bit in this study). The unique feature of the library is suitability to be synthesized by HLS (High Level Synthesis) tools, while maintaining full compatibility with C99 standard. To validate the applicability of ArPALib for the FPGA-enhanced SoCs, the Miller-Rabin primality test algorithm is considered as a case study. Also, we provide the performance analysis of our library in the software and hardware applications. The presented results show the speedup of 1.5 of the hardware co-processor over its software counterpart when ApPALib is used.
