Conventional input/output (IO) links consume power, independent of changes
in the bandwidth demand by the system they are deployed in. As the system is
designed to satisfy the peak bandwidth demand, most of the time the IO links
are idle but still consumin ...
Assume a multichannel data matrix, which due to the column-wise dependencies, has low-rank and joint-sparse representation. This matrix wont have many degrees of freedom. Enormous developments over the last decade in areas of compressed sensing and low-ran ...
Whether it be for environmental sensing or Internet of Things (IoT) applications, sensor networks are of growing use thanks to their large-scale sensing and distributed data storage abilities. However, when used in hazardous conditions and thus undergoing ...
Modern data storage systems are extremely large and consist of several tens or hundreds of nodes. In such systems, node failures are daily events, and safeguarding data from them poses a serious design challenge. The focus of this thesis is on the data rel ...
The placement of replicas across storage nodes in a replication-based storage system is known to affect rebuild times and therefore system reliability. Earlier work has shown that, for a replication factor of two, the reliability is essentially unaffected ...
Digital media have become an integral part of modern lives. Whether surfing the web, making a wireless phone call, watching satellite TV, or listening to digital music, a large part of our professional and leisure time is filled with all things digital. Th ...
Distributed storage systems based on commodity hardware have gained in popularity because they are cheaper, can be made more reliable and offer better scalability than centralized storage systems. However, implementing and managing such systems is more com ...
Application Layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) is an innovative way to provide reliability in mobile broadcast systems. Conventional data such as multimedia files or multimedia streams are extended with repair information which can be used to recover ...
Replication is a widely used method to protect large- scale data storage systems from data loss when storage nodes fail. It is well known that the placement of replicas of the different data blocks across the nodes affects the time to rebuild. Several syst ...
This dissertation deals with the design of practical erasure codes for storage systems. Hardware and logical disk failures are a common source of system failures that may lead to data loss. Nevertheless, it is predicted that spinning disks would remain the ...
