The main idea of this paper involves pruning the tree of synthetic
channels using a new criterion. This makes it possible to prove that
the average depth of the pruned tree is logarithmic in the maximum
depth, which leads to log-logarithmic complexity.

Durability. The main contribution of this work is to prove that the
pair of exponents, one measuring the error probability and the other
measuring the code rate, achieves the triangle supported by (0,0) and
(1,0) and (0,1/2). It is particularly hard to approach (0,1/2).

In this work, I construct a regeneration code named moulin code.
This name is inspired by the cascade code that pioneers this work.
The word “cascade” refers to the nested nature of the code, but also
means a type of waterfalls. I found the word “moulin” means a
waterfall within a glacier, which drops a reference to Amazon S3
Glacier, a long-term storage service. Later when I proposed this name
to Iwan my advisor, his first reaction was asking why windmill, the
meaning of moulin in French? Did I mention that “moulin” sounds like
an abbreviation of “multilinear”?

↑ Artist illustration of Parity-Checked Strassen Algorithm. This work
defines a code that allows nine CPUs to compute a matrix-matrix
multiplication collaboratively. The collaboration is such that the
failure of one CPU does not delay the final result. This is named
Pluto code because there were once nine planets, until someday Pluto
was reclassified as a dwarf planet. I also include in this work a
construction called Charon code, which is after the moon of Pluto.

↑ I receive a PhD degree in Mathematics from University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign. My dissertation is titled Complexity and Second
Moment of the Mathematical Theory of Communication, which discusses
capacity-achieving error-correcting codes and their complexities. Due
to the pandemic, my family cannot attend the commencement; so it’s
only me. (Also the artist was busy.)

Regenerating Codes: A Generalization of the Product-Matrix
Construction. The code defined in this work is called Atrahasis
code. This name comes from Atra-Hasis which, according to
wikipeida, is a 18th-century BCE Akkadian epic, recorded in various
versions on clay tab The tablets. Several reasons are behind this
choice: 1. The epic involves surviving a flood, which is analogous to
data surviving hard-disk failures. 2. The clay tablets that hold the
epic last thousands of years. 3. Clay code is another MSR code.
