Hello !

since ECC (speaking in terms of ram/memory) is some widespread hardware
technology
within server/enterprise computing for protection of memory failure,  i
wonder:

Can`t this be done in software, too ?

I didn`t find a referenc on this list, but i found an interesting paper i'd
like to share at:

http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/softecc:ddopson-meng/softecc_ddopson-meng.pdf

"SoftECC : A System for Software Memory Integrity Checking"

Is it possible to implement something like this within the Linux virtual
memory subsystem ?
If it can be done, wouldn`t this be a great feature ?

regards
Roland K.
system engineer
