Abstract
A semi-parallel forward error correction system. In one embodiment the forward error correction system includes a semi-parallel Reed-Solomon encoder and a semi-parallel Reed-Solomon decoder. Information symbols comprised of bytes are provided eight bytes in parallel to an encoder which in parallel forms eight bytes of a nonsystematic code word. On decoding, a code word is provided to a time multiplexed syndrome generator and key equation solver. An error locator polynomial from the key equation solver and the syndromes from the syndrome generator are provided to an error location and error magnitude unit, which includes a plurality of polynomial evaluator units which process an error locator polynomial in parallel.
