In information theory terms, this scheme has a minimum Hamming Distance of 8, giving detection of up to seven bit errors.

Euclidean distance is an important concept, because coding theory has much history in the use of Hamming distance. Hamming distance measures the number of different digits in a digital word, one that ...

Hamming is also associated with the term “hamming distance,” something we talked about when discussing Gray code. Continue reading “Anti-Gravity, Time Travel, And Teleportation: Dr. Hamming ...

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 this paper, we present a new concept and its circuit implementation for high-speed associative memories based on Hamming distance. A chained search logic embedded in a memory cell enables a ...
