We consider regenerating codes in distributed storage systems where connections between the nodes are constrained by a graph. In this problem, the failed node downloads the information stored at a subset of vertices of the graph for 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)…

We consider a distributed storage system with $n$ nodes, where a user can recover the stored file from any $k$ nodes, and study the problem of repairing $r$ partially failed nodes. We consider \textit{broadcast repair}, that is, $d$…

Node failures are inevitable in distributed storage systems (DSS). To enable efficient repair when faced with such failures, two main techniques are known: Regenerating codes, i.e., codes that minimize the total repair bandwidth; and codes…

Erasure correcting codes are widely used to ensure data persistence in distributed storage systems. This paper addresses the simultaneous repair of multiple failures in such codes. We go beyond existing work (i.e., regenerating codes by…
