  • Abstract
    Modern SoC architectures manufactured at ever-decreasing geometries use multiple embedded memories. Error detection and correction codes are becoming increasingly important to improve the fault tolerance of embedded memories. This article focuses on automatically optimizing classical Reed-Solomon codes by selecting the appropriate code polynomial and set of used symbols.
