Memory reliability is a key factor in the design of warehouse-scale computers. Prior work has
focused on the performance overheads of memory fault-tolerance schemes when errors do …

Several recent publications have shown that hardware faults in the memory subsystem are
commonplace. These faults are predicted to become more frequent in future systems that …

Memory hardware reliability is an indispensable part of whole-system dependability. This
paper presents the collection of realistic memory hardware error traces (including transient …

Memory errors are a major source of reliability problems in current computers. Undetected
errors may result in program termination, or, even worse, silent data corruption. Recent …

Deployed software is still faced with numerous in-production memory errors. They can
significantly affect system reliability and security, causing application crashes, erratic …

Reliability is of great concern to the scalability of extreme-scale systems. Of particular
concern are soft errors in main memory, which are a leading cause of failures on current …

Main memory reliability plays a crucial role in overall system reliability. Unfortunately, our
collective understanding of the rate, pattern, and impact of memory errors is inadequate and …

Aggressive storage density scaling in modern main memories causes increasing error rates
that are addressed using error-mitigation techniques. State-of-the-art techniques for …

Application virtual memory footprints are growing rapidly in all systems from servers down to
smartphones. To address this growing demand, system integrators are incorporating ever …

As DRAM cells continue to shrink, they become more susceptible to retention failures.
DRAM cells that permanently exhibit short retention times are fairly easy to identify and …
