Abstract
Respective processes of decoding in error correction are subjected to parallel processing using a plurality of processing elements (PEs) each having the same configuration. At any given time, when processing of one process has been terminated, processing proceeds to a PE having the highest priority among PEs waiting for processing. The PE which has received data recognizes and executes the next process for that data.
