Simulations to accurately predict error probabilities below 10^-15 in communication links with forward error correction used to take 1000’s years on a typical desktop. Ph.D. Candidate Ming Yang has developed techniques that allow us to do it in under a minute. With the help of our industry partners, the techniques have been validated on real wireline links at 60 Gbps. If you missed him present the techniques at DesignCon in Santa Clara, January 2020, then read about it in our recently-published open-access paper.
