Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Consider the following operation on an arbitrary positive number: if the number is even, divide it by two, and if the number is odd, triple it and add one. The Collatz conjecture asserts that, starting from any positive number $m$, repeated iteration of the operations eventually produces the value $1$. The main contribution of this paper is to present an efficient implementation of a coprocessor that performs the exhaustive search to verify the Collatz conjecture using a DSP48E Xilinx Virtex-5 blocks, each of which contains one multiplier and one adder. The experimental results show that, our coprocessor can verify $3.88\times 10^8$ 64-bit numbers per second.
