Abstract: A syndrome calculator receives an input codeword and calculates a first set of syndromes. A syndrome transform receives the first set of syndromes having and determines a second set of syndromes. The second set of syndromes is based on the first set of syndromes. The second set of syndromes has number of syndromes that is less than the number of syndromes in the first set of syndromes. A key equation solver receives the second set of syndromes and produces an indication of zero or more error locations and an indication of zero or more error values.

Abstract: A fixed length Reed-Solomon encoder is configured to produce a first fixed number of redundant symbols. The fixed length Reed-Solomon encoder is configured with an encoding polynomial that is fixed. A symbol preprocessor maps each input data symbol to a transformed input data symbol. A symbol postprocessor maps a second fixed number of redundant symbols output from the fixed length Reed-Solomon encoder to a set of redundant symbols. The second fixed number of redundant symbols is less than the first fixed number of redundant symbols.

Abstract: A method to generate an erasure locator polynomial in an error-and-erasure decode. The method generally includes the steps of (A) storing current values in multiple registers at a current moment, (B) generating first values by multiplying each current value by a respective one of multiple constants, (C) generating second values by gating at least all but one of the first values with a current one of multiple erasure values of an erasure position vector, (D) generating next values by combining each one of the second values with a corresponding one of the first values, (E) loading the next values into the registers in place of the current values at a next moment and (F) generating an output signal carrying the current values at a last moment such that the current values form the coefficients of the erasure locator polynomial.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for mapping a netlist of an integrated circuit to a design. The method includes steps as follows. Chaos algorithm is used to obtain most favorable places in the design for cells from the netlist. Kuhn's algorithm is utilized to assign each cell of the netlist a cell in a template so that, for each cell of the netlist, its place in the template is as close as possible to its place obtained by the chaos algorithm. Simulating annealing optimization technique is applied to reduce a sum of wire length of the design.
