For high-rate maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, most of them are designed to optimally repair a single failed node by connecting all the surviving nodes. However, in practical systems, sometimes not all the surviving nodes are…
Coding for distributed storage gives rise to a new set of problems in coding theory related to the need of reducing inter-node communication in the system. A large number of recent papers addressed the problem of optimizing the total amount…
Cooperative regenerating codes are designed for repairing multiple node failures in distributed storage systems. In contrast to the original repair model of regenerating codes, which are for the repair of single node failure, data exchange…
We consider the rack-aware storage system where $n=\bar{n}u$ nodes are organized in $\bar{n}$ racks each containing $u$ nodes, and any $k=\bar{k}u+u_0~(0\leq u_0<u)$ nodes can retrieve the original data file. More importantly, the…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage, but naively repairing a single failure in an $(n,k)$ MDS code requires downloading the full contents of $k$ surviving nodes. Minimum storage regenerating (MSR)…
Regenerating codes for distributed storage have attracted much research interest in the past decade. Such codes trade the bandwidth needed to repair a failed node with the overall amount of data stored in the network. Minimum storage…
As a special class of array codes, $(n,k,m)$ piggybacking codes are MDS codes (i.e., any $k$ out of $n$ nodes can retrieve all data symbols) that can achieve low repair bandwidth for single-node failure with low sub-packetization $m$. In…
In modern practical data centers, storage nodes are usually organized into equally sized groups, which is called racks. The cost of cross-rack communication is much more expensive compared with the intra-rack communication cost. The codes…
MDS (maximum distance separable) array codes are widely used in storage systems due to their computationally efficient encoding and decoding procedures. An MDS code with r redundancy nodes can correct any r erasures by accessing (reading)…
This paper presents an explicit construction of a class of optimal-access, minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, for small values of the number $d$ of helper nodes. The construction is valid for any parameter set $(n,k,d)$ with $d \in…
We present the construction of a family of erasure correcting codes for distributed storage that achieve low repair bandwidth and complexity at the expense of a lower fault tolerance. The construction is based on two classes of codes, where…
In an $(n,k,d)$ rack-aware storage model, the system consists of $n$ nodes uniformly distributed across $\bar{n}$ successive racks, such that each rack contains $u$ nodes of equal capacity and the reconstructive degree satisfies…
An $(n,k,d)$ cooperative regenerating code provides the optimal-bandwidth repair for any $t~(t\!>\!1)$ node failures in a cooperative way. In particular, an MSCR (minimum storage cooperative regenerating) code retains the same storage…
Partial-MDS (PMDS) codes are a family of locally repairable codes, mainly used for distributed storage. They are defined to be able to correct any pattern of $s$ additional erasures, after a given number of erasures per locality group have…
The reliability of erasure-coded distributed storage systems, as measured by the mean time to data loss (MTTDL), depends on the repair bandwidth of the code. Repair-efficient codes provide reliability values several orders of magnitude…
The {\em repair locality} of a distributed storage code is the maximum number of nodes that ever needs to be contacted during the repair of a failed node. Having small repair locality is desirable, since it is proportional to the number of…
We consider the design of regenerating codes for distributed storage systems that enjoy the property of local, exact and uncoded repair, i.e., (a) upon failure, a node can be regenerated by simply downloading packets from the surviving…
Efficient node repair is a central requirement in distributed storage systems, particularly in high-rate erasure-coded deployments where repair traffic directly affects network overhead and recovery cost. Piggybacking codes reduce the…
Recently we constructed an explicit family of locally repairable and locally regenerating codes. Their existence was proven by Kamath et al. but no explicit construction was given. Our design is based on HashTag codes that can have…
Cooperative regenerating codes are regenerating codes designed to tradeoff storage for repair bandwidth in case of multiple node failures. Minimum storage cooperative regenerating (MSCR) codes are a class of cooperative regenerating codes…
