These errors are classified as either hard-errors (caused by design failures) or soft-errors (caused by system noise or memory array bit flips due to alpha particles, etc.). To handle these memory ...

When running a server, especially one with mission-critical applications, it’s common practice to use error-correcting code (ECC) memory. As the name suggests, it uses an error-correcting alg… ...

Since the downstream users of memory data can’t deal with errors, it’s up to the memory subsystem to correct its own errors so that the rest of the system can count on it being right. At the very ...

L ike many people, my first home lab PC build was a cobbled-together collection of old networking equipment and PC parts that ...

Nvidia has issued a security reminder to application developers, computer manufacturers, and IT leaders that modern memory ...

For example, Hamming codes, popular in memory arrays, are well-suited for high-probability, random, 1-bit errors in short code words. Maximum-likelihood codes, of which Viterbi trellis detectors are a ...

The new technique, outlined in a preprint on arXiv, comes from the same family of error-correction approaches as the surface code. But while each qubit in the surface code is connected to four others, ...

Technical Terms ECC: A class of techniques that use redundant data to detect and correct errors in memory systems.
