Such techniques can significantly improve the effective storage utilization. However, there are several drawbacks to the above techniques. Firstly, they introduce non-negligible computation overhead for decoding. Secondly, traditional data caching and placement strategies become less effective in such cases. To solve the above drawbacks, this paper proposes a new data cache allocation mechanism based on simulated annealing and a new data placement strategy based on convex optimization, which effectively reduces data block transmission delay and decoding delay. We have implemented the proposed data placement strategy in the real-world distributed file system Alluxio, and evaluated the performance of our strategy. Experiment results show that our strategy can significantly reduce the file read delay compared to traditional data placement strategies. %G English %Z TC 10 %Z WG 10.3 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03768742/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03768742/file/511910_1_En_38_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03768742 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03768742 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC10 %~ IFIP-NPC %~ IFIP-WG10-3 %~ IFIP-LNCS-12639
