The only way forward is expanded testing, that's what the paper from Google is (also) about. I think this issue will always be with us, to a larger or smaller extent.
There's probably a ton of data corruption out there that happens to be in places that doesn't really cause big problems.
- secondcoming 5y agoCould cloud providers not run some tests on each machine core at startup and have the hypervisor isolate any bad cores from the guest?
- H8crilA 5y agoThey already do that, not exactly on each reboot but trust me they really test the hardware. The problem is that nobody knows how to write tests that catch all errors.
