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 ...

Error Correcting Code (ECC) technology, such as Low-Density Parity Check codes, has been around longer than most of you reading this have been alive. The reason is ...

Hybrid Active-Reactive Profiling (HARP), a new error profiling algorithm that rapidly achieves full coverage of at-risk bits in memory chips that use on-die ECC ...

Intelligent Memory is expanding its DRAM line with a new series of LPDDR4(X) devices with integrated ECC (error correction code) capabilities. LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X ...

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 algorithm to ...

Synopsys Inc. has delivered the DesignWare STAR ECC (Self-Test and Repair Error Correcting Codes) IP as part of its DesignWare STAR Memory product family to help ...

In early 2015, researchers unveiled Rowhammer, a cutting-edge hack that exploits unfixable physical weaknesses in the silicon of certain types of memory chips to transform data they stored. In the 42 ...

This Monday, Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds went on a frustrated rant about the lack of Error Correcting Checksum (ECC) RAM in consumer PCs and laptops. … the ...

Memory modules with error-correcting code (ECC) protection are vulnerable to Rowhammer, an attack that can help corrupt data the computer stores in its volatile memory chips. Since its discovery in ...

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 algorithm to ...

About four years ago, the Rowhammer vulnerability in DRAM memory chips emerged. It came about by "hammering" -- many reads or write access -- a particular memory location causing a bit to change state ...
