Efficiency Considerations of Cauchy Reed-Solomon Implementations on Accelerator and Multi-Core Platforms
Thomas Steinke, Kathrin Peter, and Sebastian Borchert · 2011
Abstract—The Cauchy variant of the Reed-Solomon algorithm is implemented on accelerator platforms including GPGPU, FPGA, CellBE and ClearSpeed as well as on a x86 multi-core system. The sustained throughput performance and kernel rates are measured for a 5+3 Reed-Solomon schema. To compare the different technology platforms an efficiency is introduced and the platforms are categorized according to their Reed-Solomon efficiency. I.
