We observe that there is great benefit in computing common operations first (COF). Based on the COF rule, we describe a generic problem of optimizing XOR-based codes and make a conjecture about its NP-completeness. Two effective greedy algorithms are proposed. Against long odds, we show that XORbased Reed-Solomon codes with such optimization can in fact be as efficient and sometimes even more efficient than the best known specifically designed XOR-based codes.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/optimizing-xor-based-codes-fault-tolerant-storage-applications/}, pages = {218-223}, isbn = {1-4244-1563-2}, edition = {Information Theory Workshop, 2007.
