For example, using the BXOR instruction, the parity bits of the Hamming coder can be efficiently computed as discussed below.

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

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 ...
