Failure-Tolerant Storage Devices

The following subpages describe the design of very high performance, failure-tolerant storage devices using any type of memory component.   A fully parallelized RS design is implemented with a PPU that is also fully parallelized and pipelined to create failure-tolerance.

I have licensed RS designs to create failure-tolerant storage devices and have developed design tools written in C to automatically generate synthesizable Verilog code for any symbol size and any degree of parallelism which allows any design to be quickly developed and tested.

Failure-tolerant devices which use Flash memory chips and hard disk drives (HDDs) as memory components are described.

These designs are not just concepts.  They are currently being implemented in numerous spacecraft by a number of different companies so there is no risk or uncertainty in implementing the error correction designs.
