As with any electronic system, errors in the memory subsystem are possible due to design failures/defects or electrical noise in any one of the components. These errors are classified as either ...

Several techniques can be used to efficiently implement a Hamming coder for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection. Many error-correcting codes ...

Correction is not possible with one parity bit since any bit error in any position creates exactly the same information as bad parity. If more bits are integrated ...

In teaching students about how to compute the likelihood of failure of complex systems in which all components must function correctly for the system to work (or, put another way, where failure of one ...

The Google servers use ECC DRAM that typically corrects single bit errors and reports double bit errors. It is a rare notebook or consumer desktop that supports ECC. You could be having DRAM problems ...

In the field of high-performance communication memory devices, it is critical for designs to be immune to soft errors or single-event upsets. During the SER (soft-error-rate) session of the 2003 IRPS ...
