Does this really matter in 2013? Serious question. I could see ECC having been useful in 2000 in the midst of the megahertz race, but I'm not too convinced about today...
- seanp2k2 13y agoCheck out http://linux.die.net/man/1/edac-util http://linux.die.net/man/1/edac-util + http://buttersideup.com/edacwiki/Main_Page http://buttersideup.com/edacwiki/Main_Page and look on some servers to see if they're seeing many correctable ECC errors. I've def. seen it happen on some Dell PERCs.
- rainforest 13y agoThe probability of a bit error on normal RAM is quite high [1]. The more RAM you add the more likely you are to see corruption. Not that ECC fixes everything - I still see uncorrected ECC errors on the older HPC nodes on our grid. [1] : http://lambda-diode.com/opinion/ecc-memory http://lambda-diode.com/opinion/ecc-memory
