What is DRAM errors in the wild: technical perspective about?
in an era of mobile devices used as windows into services provided by computing in the cloud, the cost and reliability of services provided by large warehouse-scale computers 1 is paramount. These warehouse-scale computers are implemented with racks of servers, each one typically consisting of one or two processor chips but many memory chips. Even with a crash-tolerant application layer, understanding the sources and types of errors in server memory systems is still very important. Similarly, as we look forward to exascale performance in more traditional supercomputing applications, even memory errors correctable through traditional error-correcting codes can have an outsized impact on the total system performance. 3 This is because in many systems, execution on a node with hardware-corrected errors that are logged in software runs significantly slower than on nodes without errors. Since execution of bulk synchronous parallel applications is only as fast as the slowest local computation, in a million-node computation the slowdown of one node from memory errors can end up delaying the entire million-node system. At the system level, low-end PCs have historically not provided any err
