Does anyone know the risk of radiation bit flips in this case? I don't think it's an issue with ecc ram, but if it's not that could be a problem for certain applications.
- sillysaurusx 6y agoExactly! I was wondering about that. It seems like it's so rare as not to matter, but that's no guarantee it won't matter.
- count 6y agoA friend of mine wrote a 'chaos engineering' tester for this specific issue: http://github.com/enferex/cme http://github.com/enferex/cme Randomly inject bit flips into a target process memory space, so you can see/test how your software handles it (if at all).
- fomine3 6y agoBit flip is always a risk even if you don't use ram disk.
