are significant numbers of real world cases where a defective row/column
in a DIMM results in a predictable pattern of errors. The ball is now
in Google's court to take a look at their systems that have high numbers
of errors to see if they can actually be described by a small number
of BadRAM patterns as Rick has claimed.
Hi All,
We (Google) are working on a data-driven answer for this question. I know that there has been some analysis on this topic on the past, but I don't want to speculate until we've had some time to put all the pieces together. Stay tuned for specifics.
Cheers,
