Maximum distance separable (MDS) array codes constitute an important class of error-correcting codes due to their optimal distance properties and their relevance in distributed storage systems. In this paper, we investigate the construction…

Partial MDS (PMDS) codes are erasure codes combining local (row) correction with global additional correction of entries, while Sector-Disk (SD) codes are erasure codes that address the mixed failure mode of current RAID systems. It has…
