Abstract

The present invention discloses an equation parallel computing method for accelerating an XOR based RAID-6 coding / decoding process. The method comprises that: a check rule of XOR based RAID-6 coding is expressed by check equations, solution of each check equation in the coding / decoding process is divided into two stages "pre-computation stage" and "recursive solution stage"; the solution of each check equation is performed by an independent thread and the pre-computation stages of the plurality of check equations are performed in parallel; states of data blocks are recorded by using a globally shared data block state table to coordinate execution of all the threads. According to the method provided by the present invention, the potential parallel capability of coding is used, so that most computations can be simultaneously processed by using a plurality of threads, and the parallel processing capability is fully taken advantage of, thereby shortening the computation time and improving the coding / decoding performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of disk array storage, and more specifically relates to a method for accelerating the XOR-based RAID-6 encoding and decoding process. Background technique [0002] Disk array (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, RAID) is a technology that combines multiple disks and stores data in different disks. Compared with a single disk, RAID can achieve the purpose of improving read and write speed or increasing fault tolerance. RAID is divided into multiple levels, among which RAID-6 has the ability to redundantly fail any two disks. [0003] RAID-6 uses erasure codes to protect data. According to the operations that erasure codes need to use in the encoding and decoding process, erasure codes can be divided into two categories: RS codes and XOR-based codes. RS code is a code based on Galois field (also called finite field) operation, and needs to use Galois field multiplication in its encoding and decoding proces...
