根据设备状态动态切换编码方案,提升二维磁记录系统寿命与容量。

Learning to Reconfigure: Using Device Status to Select the Right Constrained Coding Scheme

  • 基于设备状态而非时间戳,用学习方法决定何时切换编码
  • 通过多项式拟合比特错误率,优化编码切换策略以增容量减复杂度
  • 适用于需要长期稳定存储的新型磁记录系统研发人员

在数据革命时代,现代存储或传输系统需不同级别的保护。例如,新设备与老化设备所用的编码技术应不同。因此,提供可重构编码方案并设计有效重构机制,是延长设备寿命的关键。本文聚焦新兴二维磁记录(TDMR)技术中的受限编码方案。我们此前设计了针对TDMR不同生命周期阶段的高效字典序受限(LOCO)编码,重点消除隔离模式,显著提升了性能。LOCO码天然具备可重构性,本文加以利用。现有工业做法基于预设时间戳进行重构,忽略实际设备状态。为此,我们提出离线与在线学习方法,依据设备状态进行重构决策。离线学习假设全时段训练数据可用;在线学习仅在特定时间点使用数据做决策。我们将训练数据拟合为比特错误率与TD密度的多项式关系,构建优化问题以实现最优编码切换,目标是最大化存储容量和/或最小化解码复杂度。该问题可简化为线性规划,证明其全局最优性,并通过大量实验验证了在TDMR系统中的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In the age of data revolution, a modern storage~or transmission system typically requires different levels of protection. For example, the coding technique used to fortify data in a modern storage system when the device is fresh cannot be the same as that used when the device ages. Therefore, providing reconfigurable coding schemes and devising an effective way to perform this reconfiguration are key to extending the device lifetime. We focus on constrained coding schemes for the emerging two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) technology. Recently, we have designed efficient lexicographically-ordered constrained (LOCO) coding schemes for various stages of the TDMR device lifetime, focusing on the elimination of isolation patterns, and demonstrated remarkable gains by using them. LOCO codes are naturally reconfigurable, and we exploit this feature in our work. Reconfiguration based on predetermined time stamps, which is what the industry adopts, neglects the actual device status. Instead, we propose offline and online learning methods to perform this task based on the device status. In offline learning, training data is assumed to be available throughout the time span of interest, while in online learning, we only use training data at specific time intervals to make consequential decisions. We fit the training data to polynomial equations that give the bit error rate in terms of TD density, then design an optimization problem in order to reach the optimal reconfiguration decisions to switch from a coding scheme to another. The objective is to maximize the storage capacity and/or minimize the decoding complexity. The problem reduces to a linear programming problem. We show that our solution is the global optimal based on problem characteristics, and we offer various experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in TDMR systems.
