Abstract: Low encoding/decoding complexity is essential for practical storage systems. This paper presents a new MDS array codes, called Triple-Star, for tolerating triple disk failures in Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) architecture. The size of the information part is n*n, the size of the parity-check part is n*3, and the minimum distance is 4, where n is the number of information disks, the number of parity-check disks is 3, and (n+1) is a prime integer. We construct Triple-Star based on a bit matrix-vector product similar to the Reed-Solomon coding, and provide the geometry encoding method and detailed non-recursive decoding algorithms. The code rate is 3/(n+3) and the Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) property is proved. The key novelty in the presented codes is that it has optimal encoding and lower decoding complexity comparing with existing 3-column erasure codes.
