Abstract

In a systematic erasure code for the correction of two simultaneous erasures, each information symbol must have two associated parity symbols. When implemented in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID), performance requirements on the update penalty necessitate that each information symbol be associated with no more parity symbols than the two required. This leads to a simple graph model of the erasure codes, with parity symbols as vertices and information symbols as edges. Ordering the edges so that no more than f check disks (vertices) appear amongan y set of d consecutive edges is found to optimize access performance of the disk array when d is maximized. These cluttered orderings are examined for the complete graph Kn. The maximum number d of edges is determined precisely when f ≤ 5 and when f = n - 1, and bounds are derived in the remaining cases.
