2.5. LDPC IP Core Performance

Typical expected performance for a LDPC IP Core using the Quartus Prime software with Arria 10 (10AX115R2F40I1SG and 10AX115R4F40I3SG) devices.

The performance tables use the following parameters:

  • soft is Number of soft bits of the decoder variables
  • par is Parallelism
  • lps is Number of LLRs per input symbol
  • full is Full-streaming architecture
  • lay is Layered decoding
  • short is Shorten codeword
  • rate is Coding rate
