Flipping Bits: Memory Errors in the Machine by Taylor Campbell
We've all heard stories of the dreaded cosmic ray angrily flipping bits in your RAM. But how much does it matter, really? And, more importantly, how do you tell?
This talk will cover an overview of hardware architecture around detecting and correcting memory errors, software support for handling them and other types of hardware errors, and stories of memory errors in the real world.
And, if the stars align (specifically, the cosmic-ray-generating supernovae), perhaps we'll have a live demo.
