Several techniques can be used to efficiently implement a Hamming coder for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection.

In 1950 Bell Labs researcher, Richard W Hamming, made a discovery that would lay an important foundation for the entire modern computing and communications industries. He had invented a code for ...

While working for Bell Labs, he developed Hamming codes — the parent of a class of codes that detect, and sometimes correct, errors in everything from error-correcting memory to hard drives.

Redundant information Error-correcting codes have been around for more than 50 years. They were introduced by Richard Hamming at Bell Labs.

While working for Bell Labs, he developed Hamming codes — the parent of a class of codes that detect, and sometimes correct, errors in everything from error-correcting memory to hard drives.

A new technical paper titled “Error Detection and Correction Codes for Safe In-Memory Computations” was published by researchers at Robert Bosch, Forschungszentrum Julich, and Newcastle University.

CIO Blast from the Past takes a journey through 60 years of information theory and discovers how the Hamming code legacy lives on today.
