Abstract

In one or more embodiments, a method, computer-readable media, and/or computational unit acts or is capable of receiving, from a single, integrated memory, current and previous iterations of Log Likelihood Ratio (“LLR”) parameters for a current iteration of a Low-Density Parity-Check code (“LDPC code”) error-correcting process. These may then perform an LDPC code error-correcting algorithm using the current and previous iterations of LLR parameters. Following this, these embodiment(s) may overwrite the previous iteration of LLR parameters with a now-current iteration of LLR parameters and treat the current iteration of LLR parameters as a now-previous iteration of LLR parameters. Both of these iterations of LLR parameters for the now-current iteration may then be received following overwrite of the previous iteration of LLR parameters with the now-current iteration of LLR parameters. With these now-current and now-previous iterations of LLR parameters these embodiment(s) may perform the LDPC code error-correcting algorithm.
