this a loaded question.
anyone interested in the topic should absolutely start from reading up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code and only then start looking into the engineering side, starting with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory, notably some benchmarks reported 25% performance hits (not sure if it's real or sales propaganda.)
- cornholio 3y agoI clearly am not talking about in-band ECC (storing the error detection data inside the program accessible RAM) that the 25% performance drop refers to.
