reed-solomon encoding [45a64db9]

algorithms

  • form of error correction codes that detect and correct errors in data transmission or storage
  • redudant data is add (parity bits) to the original data in such a way that if part of the data is lost or corrupted, it can be reconstructed
  • from the idea that polynomials over finite fields represent data
  • erasure encoding is the general form of it
  • at large enough scale, rather than purely replicating for data integrity, usage of reed-solomon codes is better.
