Graphics processing units (GPUs) have become increasingly popular over the last years as a cost-effective means of accelerating various computationally intensive tasks. We study the particular case of modular exponentiation, the crucial operation behind most modern public-key cryptography algorithms. We focus our attention on the NVIDIA GT200 architecture, currently one of the most popular for general purpose GPU computation.
