Right now I am reading/investing this one:

http://www.hackersdelight.org/ecc.pdf

Also cool website name !

"hackers delight" ! LOL.

Have you considered paying a consultant?

I took a class in grad school by some NASA/Ames Phd on error detection
and correct. It had to be the class with the most people dropping it
that I ever took. When the dust settled, he gave out one A, one B
(me), and a lot of Cs. He figured he didn't have to use a curve since
so many people dropped it, so he spared D and Fs.

Anyway, my point is this a specialty where it would pay to have some
expert do the coding for you.

Coding the hamming code thing... I think I can manage that ;) It might take
some time but that's ok :)

LDPC codes is a different matter though ;)

For now it seems LDPC has large overhead ?! so that's kinda shitty... but do
correct me if I am wrong ;) :)

If the overhead ain't that bad I might be willing to help some "scientist"
with coding up something "good" in delphi ;) :) You do the thinking, I do
the programming =D

When it comes to saving time maybe some people could code for me but I doubt
there are any good "Delphi" codes out there to work for absolutely "budget"
hours ;) :)

And I am very demanding when it comes to Delphi code quality ! ;) :) It most
be top notch ! ;) :) =D

And that's exactly what's gonna happen:

1. First generic Delphi code.
2. Then maybe optimized Delphi code for this specific case.
3. Then gpu code.
4. Then maybe further optimized gpu code if possible ;) :)

However shader model 3.0 /cg doesn't seem to good at bit fiddling... so that
might get a bit tricky ;) :)

Also error correction is something I wanted to do for some time now ;) :)

Thanks to better documentation explaining the idea's/concepts I should be
able to program it now and ofcourse thanks to my increased programming skill
level ;) :)

Bye,
Skybuck ;) :)

However suppose this goes through, then there is a weird funny situation:

The GPU and it's code/memory is actually better protected then the rest of
the system ?! ;) :)

Though most of it should happen in the gpu anyway... but it's kinda odd...
as soon as it comes out it could still be affected by the cpu/main memory...
but that's an issue for the user he will have to deal with himself I
guess... or maybe I could do some extra checking on the outputs as well and
include them on the cpu side as well... it wouldn't be that much of a big
deal...

I think that's actually a cool idea too... since I did have one bad memory
chip not so long ago =D

So it should be total protection for cpu and gpu ! ;) :)

Bye,
Skybuck ;) :)

Trust me (and everyone else here).
If Skybuck were to ever pay for a specialist, that person should have
nothing to do with electronics!!
