Introduction

ppcode3 is a simulation toolkit to speed up research on channel coding theory. ppcode3 is expected to:

• be easy to develop
• be easy to use
• provide a bunch of codes to compare their performance
• have acceptable performance

To meet these expectations, ppcode3 is:

• developed with Kotlin to make reading and writing source codes less painful
• highly configurable using config files to enable easy management of experimental setups
• shipped with a bunch of ready-to-use codes and performance measures
• multithreaded to save running time

Dependencies

ppcode3 use maven to manage all the dependencies. However, thesallab.configuration has to be installed manually using maven.
