A Data-Assisted Reliability Model for Carrier-Assisted Cold Data Storage Systems
(Elsevier, 2020) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy; Peng, James
Cold data storage systems are used to allow long term digital preservation for institutions’ archive. The common functionality among cold and warm/hot data storage is that the data is stored on some physical medium for read-back at a later time. However in cold storage, write and read operations are not necessarily done in the same exact geographical location. Hence, a third party assistance is typically utilized to bring together the medium and the drive. On the other hand, the reliability modeling of such a decomposed system poses few challenges that do not necessarily exist in other warm/hot storage alternatives such as fault detection and absence of the carrier, all totaling up to the data unavailability issues. In this paper, we propose a generalized non-homogenous Markov model that encompasses the aging of the carriers in order to address the requirements of today's cold data storage systems in which the data is encoded and spread across multiple nodes for the long-term data retention. We have derived useful lower/upper bounds on the overall system availability. Furthermore, the collected field data is used to estimate parameters of a Weibull distribution to accurately predict the lifetime of the carriers in an example scale-out setting.

A Joint Dedupe-Fountain Coded Archival Storage
(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy; Wideman, Rod
An erasure-coded archival file storage system is presented using a chunk-based deduplication mechanism and fountain codes for space/time efficient operation. Unlike traditional archival storage, this proposal considers the deduplication operation together with correction coding in order to provide a reliable storage solution. The building blocks of deduplication and fountain coding processes are judiciously interleaved to present two novel ideas, reducing memory footprint with weaker hashing and dealing with the increased collisions using correction coding, and applying unequal error protection to deduplicated chunks for increased availability. The combination of these two novel ideas made the performance of the proposed system stand out. For example, it is shown to outperform one of the replication-based as well as RAID data protection schemes. The proposed system also addresses some of the fundamental challenges of today's low-cost deduplicated data storage systems such as hash collisions, disk bottleneck and RAM overflow problems, securing savings up to 90% regular RAM use.
Adaptive Erasure Codes
(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy
Methods, apparatus, and other embodiments associated with adaptive use of erasure codes for distributed data storage systems are described. One example method includes accessing a message, where the message has a message size, selecting an encoding strategy as a function of the message size, data storage device failure statistics, data storage device wear periods, data storage space constraints, or overhead constraints, and where the encoding strategy includes an erasure code approach, generating an encoded message using the encoding strategy, generating an encoded block, where the encoded block includes the encoded mes sage and metadata associated with the message, and storing the encoded block in the data storage system. Example methods and apparatus may employ Reed Solomon erasure codes or Fountain erasure codes. Example methods and apparatus may display to a user the storage capacity and durability of the data storage system.
Artificial Intelligence Augmented Iterative Product Decoding
(2023) Arslan , Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy
A method for product decoding within a data storage system includes receiving data to be decoded within a first decoder; performing a plurality of decoding iterations to decode the data utilizing a first decoder and a second decoder; and outputting fully decoded data based on the performance of the plurality of decoding iterations. Each of the plurality of decoding iterations includes (i) decoding the data with the first decoder operating at a first decoder operational mode to generate once decoded data; (ii) sending the once decoded data from the first decoder to the second decoder; (iii) receiving error information from the first decoder with an artificial intelligence system; (iv) selecting a second decoder operational mode based at least in part on the error information that is received by the artificial intelligence system; and (v) decoding the once decoded data with the second decoder operating at the second decoder operational mode to generate twice decoded data; and outputting fully decoded data based on the performance of the plurality of decoding iterations.
Data Deduplication With Adaptive Erasure Code Redundancy (us20160013815a1)
(2016) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Wideman, Roderick; Lee, Jaewook; Göker, Turguy
Example apparatus and methods combine erasure coding with data deduplication to simultaneously reduce the overall redundancy in data while increasing the redundancy of unique data. In one embodiment, an efficient representation of a data set is produced by deduplication. The efficient rep resentation reduces duplicate data in the data set. Redundancy is then added back into the data set using erasure coding. The redundancy that is added back in adds protection to the unique data associated with the efficient representation. How much redundancy is added back in and what type of redundancy is added back in may be controlled based on an attribute (e.g., value, reference count, symbol size, number of symbols) of the unique data. Decisions concerning how much and what type of redundancy to add back in may be adapted over time based, for example, on observations of the efficiency of the overall system.
Efficient High/Low Energy Zone Solid State Device Data Storage
(2016) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy
Methods and apparatus associated with storing data in high or low energy zones are described. Example apparatus include a data storage system (DSS) that protects a message using an erasure code (EC). A location in the DSS may have an energy efficiency rating or a latency. Example apparatus include circuits that produce EC encoded data that has a likelihood of use, that select a location to store the EC encoded data in the DSS based on the energy efficiency rating, the latency, or the likelihood of use, that store the EC encoded data in the loca tion, and that compute an order of retrieval for EC encoded data stored in the location. The order of retrieval may be based on the energy efficiency rating or the latency. The EC encoded data may also have a priority based on the number of erasures for which the EC corrects.

A nucleic acid storage system (100) that uses nanopore sequencing to read data values chemically embedded in oligonucleotides includes a membrane (102), a voltage source (108), and a nucleic acid strand (110). The membrane (102) has a plurality of nanopores (104) that are stacked upon one another in a multi-nanopore arrangement. The voltage source (108) is configured to direct voltage across the plurality of nanopores (104). The nucleic acid strand (110) including the oligonucleotides is threaded through each of the plurality of nanopores (104) within the membrane (102). A separate base signal (118) is generated from the nucleic acid strand (110) being threaded through each of the plurality of nanopores (104), and Recursive Neural Networks can be used to estimate a signal shape for each oligonucleotide. Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks and noise predictive data detection algorithms can be used based on the estimated signal shapes to sequence the oligonucleotides.

TALICS3 : Tape library cloud storage system simulator
(Elsevier, 2024) Peng, James; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy
High performance computing data is surging fast into the exabyte-scale world, where tape libraries are the main platform for long-term durable data storage besides high -cost DNA. Tape libraries are extremely hard to model, but accurate modeling is critical for system administrators to obtain valid performance estimates for their designs. This research introduces a discrete- event tape simulation platform that realistically models tape library behavior in a networked cloud environment, by incorporating real -world phenomena and effects. The platform addresses several challenges, including precise estimation of data access latency, rates of robot exchange, data collocation, deduplication/compression ratio, and attainment of durability goals through replication or erasure coding. Using the proposed simulator, one can compare the single enterprise configuration with multiple commodity library configurations, making it a useful tool for system administrators and reliability engineers. This makes the simulator a valuable tool for system administrators and reliability engineers, enabling them to acquire practical and dependable performance estimates for their enduring, cost-efficient cold data storage architecture designs.
