Chung-An Shen, et al., "A Best-First Soft/Hard Decision Tree Searching MIMO Decoder for a 4×4 64-QAM System" IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems 20, (8), 2012, 1537. Abstract: This paper presents the algorithm and VLSI architecture of a configurable tree-searching approach that combines the features of classical depth-first and breadth-first methods. Based on this approach, techniques to reduce complexity while providing both hard and soft outputs decoding are presented. Furthermore, a single programmable parameter allows the user to tradeoff throughput versus BER

"Hour of Code,” a worldwide initiative with the scope to teach children the basics of computer science, recently took place at The KAUST School Kindergarten. During Computer Science Education Week, December 5-9, 2021, researchers from the KAUST RISC Lab volunteered to help the children to “demystify” code and grasp their first concepts of robotics.
