| 11. | If detected, a soft error may be corrected by rewriting correct data in place of erroneous data.
|
| 12. | This is called a " soft error, " because it does no permanent damage to the chip.
|
| 13. | In the context of circuit operation, this erroneous output value may be considered a soft error event.
|
| 14. | In a computer's memory system, a soft error changes an instruction in a program or a data value.
|
| 15. | To duplicate a test is one of the most robust methods that exists for generic soft error detection.
|
| 16. | After observing a soft error, there is no implication that the system is any less reliable than before.
|
| 17. | In electronics and computing, a "'soft error "'is a type of error where a signal or datum is wrong.
|
| 18. | The chance of encountering a soft error becomes greater the higher a computer is above the earth's surface, Borkar said.
|
| 19. | Scrub " the memory, by periodically reading all addresses and writing back corrected versions if necessary to remove soft errors.
|
| 20. | A soft error will not damage a system's hardware; the only damage is to the data that is being processed.
