Abstract
Distributed storage systems provide reliable storage of data by dispersing redundancy across multiple nodes. As the individual nodes are unreliable this protects the integrity of the data against failures. In order to maintain this reliability, new nodes must be introduced into the system whenever nodes are lost which restore the redundancy. This process involves having a new node download information from remaining nodes and is known as the repair problem. In this paper, we consider networks with communication costs associated to each link and explore means to minimize the cost of performing these repairs. We do this by considering a generalized method of repair wherein the amount of information downloaded to a new node varies amongst the other nodes in the network. We find that when nodes store the minimum amount of data that the minimum cost can be achieved by quasi-uniform repair, where the same amount of data is downloaded from each node with which communication takes place. We also consider systems with the additional freedom that the amount of storage is allowed to vary from node to node and look at repair cost minimization there as well.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
