Distributed storage systems employ codes to provide resilience to failure of multiple storage disks. Specifically, an $(n, k)$ MDS code stores $k$ symbols in $n$ disks such that the overall system is tolerant to a failure of up to $n-k$…

We consider a set up where a file of size M is stored in n distributed storage nodes, using an (n,k) minimum storage regenerating (MSR) code, i.e., a maximum distance separable (MDS) code that also allows efficient exact-repair of any…
