oh, brilliant, so we need to make our software systems exponentially more complicated(when anything is possible, you need to add complexity) to gain a 30% power

oh, brilliant, so we need to make our software systems exponentially more complicated(when anything is possible, you need to add complexity) to gain a 30% power reduction in hardware?.
And add the possibility for the computer to fail at random(statistical atypicals that are not "filtered").
I think this is not a good idea.
- someone_here 16y agoKeep in mind that currently, about 100 bits of memory in your computer are flipped every year just because of cosmic rays.

- Retric 16y agoECC really does help. For home use non ECC memory is probably acceptable as most errors are going to be in graphics data etc. But, for a few $ more you can significantly increase your computers stability. "Recent tests give widely varying error rates with over 7 orders of magnitude difference, ranging from 10−10−10−17 error/bit•h, roughly one bit error, per hour, per gigabyte of memory to one bit error, per century, per gigabyte of memory.[7][11][12]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random_access_memory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random_access_memory
