摘要:
A storage system includes a storage medium operable to maintain a data set, a read/write head assembly operable to write the data set to the storage medium and to read the data set from the storage medium, a multi-level encoder operable to encode the data set at a plurality of different code rates before it is written to the storage medium, and a multi-level decoder operable to decode the data set retrieved from the storage medium and to apply decoded values encoded at a lower code rate when decoding values encoded at a higher code rate.

This application discloses a storage controller. When running, the storage controller encodes, according to a check matrix, K to-be-coded data chunks obtained from a client, to generate two check chunks. In this way, if any chunk is damaged subsequently, the damaged chunk can be recovered by using the check matrix and an undamaged chunk. The storage controller improves efficiency of recovering the damaged chunk.

Provided is a signal quality evaluation apparatus, including an error pattern detection unit to which binarized data obtained by performing a PRML decoding process on a reproduced signal of bit information by partial response equalization and maximum likelihood decoding is input, the error pattern detection unit configured to detect at least one specific error pattern that is a bit pattern that is longer than a constraint length of the PRML decoding process, a metric difference calculation unit configured to calculate a metric difference of the at least one specific error pattern that has been detected by the error pattern detection unit, and an index value generation unit configured to generate an index value of a reproduced signal quality by using a distribution of the metric difference obtained by the metric difference calculation unit.

A memory system and method of operating the same is described, where the memory system is used to store data in a RAIDed manner. The stored data may be retrieved, including the parity data so that the stored data is recovered when the first of either the stored data without the parity data, or the stored data from all but one memory module and the parity data, has been received. The writing of data, for low write data loads, is managed such that only one of the memory modules of a RAID stripe is being written to, or erased, during a time interval.

A control device (211) inputs reliability information on the same data block a plurality of times into a reliability storage memory (202). A reliability generating device (201) generates anew reliability information by performing computation processing based on a stochastic computation by using reliability information generated in the previous cycle that has been saved in the reliability storage memory (202) and reliability information generated in the present cycle, and saves the reliability information generated anew in the reliability storage memory (202) when the decoding is performed by using reliability information on the data block same as that in the previous cycle. A column processing computation device (204) computes a column processing output value by using the reliability information generated anew and saved in the reliability storage memory (202) and a row processing output value.

Disclosed herein is a coding method including the step of: coding an information sequence in such a manner that upon performing error correction coding after carrying out RLL coding of the information sequence, the maximum number of consecutive 1-bits or 0-bits is α-β or less in an RLL code word over a range from bit p-α to bit p+α-1 of the RLL code word and that a β-bit error correcting code parity sequence is inserted between bit p-1 and bit p of the RLL code word, where α is a number larger than 1 representing the maximum number of consecutive 0-bits or 1-bits in an n-bit RLL code word and where p is a natural number.
