Encoding and decoding using elastic codes with flexible source block mapping

Data can be encoded by assigning source symbols to base blocks, assigning base blocks to source blocks and encoding each source block into encoding symbols, where at least one pair of source blocks is such they have at least one base block in common with b ...

Vector signaling codes with high pin-efficiency for chip-to-chip communication and storage

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

An alternative type of vector signaling codes having increased pin-efficiency normal vector signaling codes is described. Receivers for these Permutation Modulation codes of Type II use comparators requiring at most one fixed reference voltage. The resulti ...

Online Fountain Codes With Low Overhead

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Yuval Cassuto

An online fountain code is defined as a fountain code for which an optimal encoding strategy can be found efficiently given any instantaneous decoding state. This property is important for data distribution in practical networks. In this paper, we formaliz ...

Nonbinary Associative Memory With Exponential Pattern Retrieval Capacity and Iterative Learning

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Amir Hesam Salavati, Krishna Kumar

We consider the problem of neural association for a network of nonbinary neurons. Here, the task is to first memorize a set of patterns using a network of neurons whose states assume values from a finite number of integer levels. Later, the same network sh ...

LDPC Codes for 2D Arrays

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Yuval Cassuto

Binary codes over 2D arrays are very useful in data storage, where each array column represents a storage device or unit that may suffer failure. In this paper, we propose a new framework for probabilistic construction of codes on 2D arrays. Instead of a p ...

Coupled neural associative memories

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Amin Karbasi, Amir Hesam Salavati

We propose a novel architecture to design a neural associative memory that is capable of learning a large number of patterns and recalling them later in presence of noise. It is based on dividing the neurons into local clusters and parallel plains, an arch ...
