Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for generating RAID syndromes. In one embodiment the method may include loading a first data byte of a first disk block and a first data byte of a second disk block from a storage device to an arithmetic logic unit. The method may further include XORing the first data byte of the first disk block and the first data byte of the second disk block to generate a first result and storing the first result in a results buffer. The method may also include iteratively repeating, loading intermediate data bytes corresponding to the first disk block and intermediate data bytes corresponding to the second disk block from the storage device to the arithmetic logic unit. The method may additionally include XORing the intermediate data bytes corresponding to the first disk block and the intermediate data bytes corresponding to the second disk block to generate intermediate results and generating a RAID syndrome based on, at least in part, the intermediate results. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
