Distributed storage codes have important applications in the design of modern storage systems. In a distributed storage system, every storage node has a probability to fail and once an individual storage node fails, it must be reconstructed…

Several works have developed vector-linear maximum-distance separable (MDS) storage codes that min- imize the total communication cost required to repair a single coded symbol after an erasure, referred to as repair bandwidth (BW). Vector…

We study the performance of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes for the \em exact repair problem \em in distributed storage. Our main result is that, in some parameter regimes, Reed-Solomon codes are optimal regenerating codes, among MDS codes with…

In the literature, most of the known high-rate $(n,k)$ MDS array codes with the optimal repair property only support a single repair degree (i.e., the number of helper nodes contacted during a repair process) $d$, where $k\le d\le n-1$.…

We study linear exact repair for $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with redundancy $r=n-k$, in the regime where $q$, $r$, and $\ell$ are fixed and the code length $n$ varies. A recent projective counting argument gives a…
