Storage-Optimized Data Atomic Algorithm for Handling Errors and Erasures in Distributed Storage Systems

Exclusively Licensed

Described are devices, systems and techniques for implementing atomic memory objects in a multi-writer, multi-reader setting. In an embodiment, the devices, systems and techniques use maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, and may be specifically designed to optimize a total storage cost for a given fault-tolerance requirement. Also described is an embodiment to handle the case where some of the servers can return erroneous coded elements during a read operation.
