Patent 7447948 was granted and assigned to Intel on November, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods and apparatus for performing error correction code (ECC) coding techniques for high-speed implementations. The ECC code word is structured to facilitate a very fast single-error-detect (SED) that allows state machines to be stopped within a single cycle when an error is detected and enables a corresponding single-error-correct (SEC) operation to be performed over multiple cycles while the state machines are in a suspended mode.
