Abstract: Techniques are described for improving the decoding latency and throughput of an error correction system that includes a bit flipping (BF) decoder, where the BF decoder uses a bit flipping procedure. In an example, different decoding parameters are determined including any of a decoding number of a decoding iteration, a checksum of a codeword, a degree of a variable node, and a bit flipping threshold defined for the bit flipping procedure.

Otherwise, the bit flipping decoding procedure can be performed to compute a bit flipping energy and determine whether particular bits are to be flipped or not. Hence, the overall performance (e.g., bit error rate) is not significantly impacted.

Abstract: An approach to identifying problematic data storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), in a data storage system involves retrieving and evaluating a respective recovery log, such as a media error section of a device status log, from each of multiple HDDs. Based on each recovery log, a value for a Full Recoveries Per Hour (FRPH) metric is determined for each read-write head of each respective HDD.

Similarly, in the context of solid-state drives (SSDs), a latency metric is determinable based on time spent waiting on resolving input/output (IO) request collisions, on which an in-situ repair can be based.
