Excuse me if this is not the correct newsgroup.

Does anybody out there have any information on Reed Solomon Decoders being
done in software (or perhaps in a standard workstation with a hardware
accelerator)?

Currently at JPL we are using some home brew RS devices, with non-standard
interfaces, and would like to phase them out.  We're looking to replace them
with software RS decoders (if possible).  With today's increase in
workstation compute power, we think it should be possible to perform RS
without custom hardware.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
