Erasure Coding Magnetic Tapes for Minimum Latency and Adaptive Parity Protection Feedback
(Patent Ofisi : US, 2019) Goker, Turguy; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Le, Hoa; Peng, James; Prigge, Carsten
A magnetic tape device or system can store erasure encoded data that generates a multi-dimensional erasure code corresponding to an erasure encoded object comprising a code-word (CW). The multi-dimensional erasure code enables using a single magnetic tape in response to a random object/file request, and correct for an error within the single magnetic tape without using other tapes. Encoding logic can further utilize other magnetic tapes to generate additional parity tapes that recover data from an error of the single magnetic tape in response to the error satisfying a threshold severity for a reconstruction of the erasure coded object or chunk (s) of the CW. The encoding logic can be controlled, at least in part, by one or more iterative coding processes between multiple erasure code dimensions that are orthogonal to one another.
Network Attached Device for Accessing Removable Storage Media
(Patent Ofisi : US, 2018) Goker, Turguy; Lee, Jaewook; Le, Hoa; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Peng, James
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media to access data on removable storage media via a network attached access device. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving one or more user provided, in the removable storage media access device, receiving data over a packet communication network for storage on a removable storage medium. After receiving the data, the method provides preparing the data for storage on the removable storage medium. After preparing the data, the method provides writing the data to the removable storage medium.

Openmp and Posix Threads Implementation of Jerasure 2.0
(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Le, Hoa; Landman, Joseph; Goker, Turguy
In shared memory multiprocessor architectures, threads can be used to implement parallelism. POSIX threads (pthreads) is a low-level bare-bones programming interface for working with threads. Therefore, we have extremely fine-grained control over thread management (create/join/etc), mutexes, and so on. On the other hand, openMP, as a shared-memory standard, is much higher level and portable interface which makes it easier to use multi-threading capability and obtain satisfactory performance improvements. Since pthreads is more flexible, it helps programmers gain more control on performance optimizations. Jerasure 2.0 erasure coding library has encoding/decoding engines which comprise independent "for" loop iterations and hence possess huge potential for multi-threaded processing. In this short paper, we investigate multi-threaded implementations of encoder/decoder pair of Jerasure 2.0 using two different technologies: OpenMP and pthreads. We constrain our changes to a minimum possible and compare the pure encoding/decoding performance with respect to each other as well as against that of the original single-threaded version by running them on two different server systems.
