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 ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

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 ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

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 ...

With these 32 bytes RS can correct errors in 16 bytes of the message. This means a single bit, or all eight bits, can be wrong in 16 different bytes and the RS will correct them. The number of parity ...
