Latest Patents
Olav Geil holds a patent for "Accelerated processing for maximum distance separable codes using composite field extensions." This patent discloses an apparatus and method that enhance the efficiency of encoding and decoding data with erasures according to an MDS code based on a Reed-Solomon code. The invention involves forming n encoded fragments by multiplying k data fragments with an n×k generator matrix for the MDS code. The generator matrix is optimized by reducing the size of the finite field to which its entries belong, sometimes down to a base field with only two elements. This unique approach allows the generator matrix to have multiple columns with entries from the finite field of two elements, and in some cases, even from intermediate fields.
