From: Skybuck Flying on 12 Feb 2010 23:14 I investigated hamming a bit and wondered what would happen if I left out 1 bit from all data bits in a parity calculation, all data bits would receive a parity bit... from that "experiment" it was pretty clear that this hamming idea can only correct single bit errors ?!? Well maybe not because the wikipedia link says it could correct more but doesn't explain how... Anyway I think it might be necessary to "parity check" the parity bits as well in a way... which reminds me of LDPC codes... It seems LDPC code calculations happen on module 2 and matrices which might just be up the gpu's alley ?! ;) Here some links: Link to hamming code on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code Link to LDPC code on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_parity-check_code I am also looking at some LDPC document which came with some LPDC c software which is on the wikipedia links section as well... seeing if it's any good ;) :) so far seems interesting ;) Though I am not sure if LDPC's would apply to my case because they do seem to require as many bits as data bits to be effective ?
