  • Balanced Reed-Solomon codes
    Patent number: 10425106
    Abstract: Balanced Reed-Solomon codes in accordance with embodiments of the invention enable balanced load in distributed storage systems. One embodiment includes a storage controller, wherein the storage processor is configured by the controller Reed-Solomon application to: receive a data segment; partition the data segment into a first block of data and a second block of data; transmit the first block of data to a first node controller in the plurality of node controllers; transmit the second block of data to a second node controller in the plurality of node controllers; wherein the node processor in the first node controller is configured by the node Reed-Solomon application to: receive the first block of data; encode the first block of data using a balanced and sparsest error-correcting code; and store the encoded first block of data in the node memory of the first node controller.
