We present new methods to extend data reliability of disks in RAID systems for applications like long term data archival. The proposed solutions extend existing algorithms to detec...
Even though graphics processors (GPUs) are becoming increasingly popular for general purpose computing, current (and likely near future) generations of GPUs do not provide hardwar...
Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
Concentration of design effort for current single-chip Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) microprocessors has been directed towards performance. Reliability has not been the primary ...
XOR-based erasure codes are a computationallyefficient means of generating redundancy in storage systems. Some such erasure codes provide irregular fault tolerance: some subsets o...
