A decoder unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to perform a decoding on encoded data. The decoder unit includes a data bus comprising N data lines; a local memory configured to store messages for a message-passing decoding and communicate the messages across the data bus; a plurality of first decoder processing units, individually configured to perform the message-passing decoding on encoded data by communicating with the local memory using A data lines from the N data lines; and a plurality of second decoder processing units, individually configured to perform the message-passing decoding on the encoded data by communicating with the local memory using B data lines among the N data lines. N is at least two, A and B are less than or equal to N, and A may be different from B. |
