Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system with multiple erasure codes, and selecting and encoding for a write file with one of the codes to mitigate costs associated with storage recovery. The codes include a fast recovery code for frequently accessed data and a higher storage efficiency code for less frequently accessed data. State data is tracked to ascertain frequency of access to the file. One of the erasure codes is dynamically selected based on the tracked data, with the focus of the code select to lower recovery costs, and the data is encoded with the selected erasure code. Accordingly, the original coding of the write file is subject to change based on the tracked state data.

Abstract: A digital filtering method includes receiving a digital signal, and passing the digital signal through a Pth order comb cascade. The method includes beginning pre-computing of intermediate integrator states of a Pth order integrator cascade as a function of the digital signal, prior to receiving output from a last comb of the Pth order comb cascade.

The Pth order comb cascade may operate at a sampling frequency, and the pre-computing of the intermediate integrator states is performed at the sampling frequency, while the application of the outputs from each comb of the Pth order comb cascade to the pre-computed intermediate integrator states is performed at a multiple of the sampling frequency.
