Abstract
A method for calculating a plurality (M) of redundancy blocks for multiple (N) data blocks of a plurality (D) of words each, the method comprises: receiving the number (M) of redundancy blocks by a calculator that comprises multiple (R) calculation units; configuring the calculator according to M and R; concurrently calculating, if M equals R, by the multiple (R) calculation units of the calculator, R sets of parity vectors, each set includes a plurality (D) of parity vectors; and calculating the plurality (M) of the redundancy blocks based on the R sets of parity vectors.
