LDPC-codes is a collection of programs and modules intended to support research and education concerning Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. The decoding algorithm for LDPC codes is related to that used for Turbo codes, and to probabilistic inference methods used in other fields. Variations on LDPC and Turbo codes are currently the best practical codes known, in terms of their ability to transmit data at rates approaching channel capacity with very low error probability.
