Abstract
Erasure codes are widely deployed in modern storage systems, leading to frequent usage of their encoding/decoding operations. The encoding/decoding process for erasure codes is generally carried out using the parity-check matrix approach. However, this approach is serial and computationally expensive, mainly due to dealing with matrix operations, which results in low encoding/decoding performance. These drawbacks are particularly evident for newer erasure codes, including SD and LRC codes. To address these limitations, this article introduces the Partitioned and Parallel Matrix ( PPM ) algorithm. This algorithm partitions the parity-check matrix, parallelizes encoding/decoding operations, and optimizes calculation sequence to facilitate fast encoding/decoding of these codes. Furthermore, we present a generalized PPM ( gPPM ) algorithm that surpasses PPM in performance by employing fine-grained dynamic matrix calculation sequence selection. Unlike PPM, gPPM is also applicable to erasure codes such as RS code. Experimental results demonstrate that PPM improves the encoding/decoding speed of SD and LRC codes by up to 210.81%. Besides, gPPM achieves up to 102.41% improvement over PPM and 32.25% improvement over RS regarding encoding/decoding speed.
