How GPUs can outperform ASICs for fast LDPC decoding
Gabriel Falcão, Vitor M. M. da Silva, Leonel A. Sousa · 2009
Due to huge computational requirements, powerful Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) error correcting codes, discovered in the early 1960s, have only recently been adopted by emerging communication standards. LDPC decoders are supported by VLSI technology, which delivers good parallel computational power with excellent throughputs, but at the expense of significant costs.
