Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for reducing a latency of a decoder in a non-volatile memory are described. An example method includes receiving a noisy codeword that is based on a transmitted codeword generated from a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code, the LDPC code having an associated parity matrix comprising a plurality of columns of circulant matrices, performing a sorting operation that sorts the plurality of columns of circulant matrices in a descending order of a first quality metric to generate a plurality of sorted columns of circulant matrices, the first quality metric indicative of a number of errors in a corresponding column of circulant matrices, and iteratively processing the plurality of sorted columns of circulant matrices to determine a candidate version of the transmitted codeword.
