The present invention is a novel and improved technique for decoding with particular application to turbo, or iterative, coding techniques. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a system for decoding includ es a channel deinterleaver RAM for storing a block of symbol estimates and for reading out at least three different portions of said block in substantially simultaneous fashion. A set of 3 state metric calculators receives the three portions in a substantially simultaneous fashion and generate corresponding sets of state metric calculations from said three portions of the channel deinterleaver block.
