  We describe a new family of parallelizable bounded distance decoding 
  algorithms for the Barnes-Wall lattices, and analyze their decoding
  complexity. 
  The algorithms are parameterized by the number 
  <em>p = 4<sup>k</sup> &lt;= N<sup>2</sup></em>
  of available processors, work for Barnes-Wall lattices in arbitrary 
  dimension <em>N=2<sup>n</sup></em>, 
  correct any error up to squared unique decoding radius
  <em>d<sub>min</sub><sup>2</sup>/4</em>, and run in worst-case time 
  <em>O(N log<sup>2</sup> N / p<sup>1/2</sup>)</em>.
  Depending on the value of the parameter <em>p</em>, 
  this yields efficient 
  decoding algorithms ranging from a fast sequential algorithm 
  with quasi-linear decoding complexity 
  <em>O(N log<sup>2</sup> N)</em>,
  to a fully parallel decoding circuit with polylogarithmic depth 
  <em>O(log<sup>2</sup> N)</em> and polynomially many arithmetic gates.
