SK0-003 · Question #856

Which of the following memory features will allow a server to correct up to 4-bit memory errors?

The correct answer is C. Chipkill. Chipkill memory is an advanced error correction technology capable of correcting multi-bit memory errors, specifically up to 4-bit errors, by protecting against entire memory chip failures.

Why each option

Chipkill memory is an advanced error correction technology capable of correcting multi-bit memory errors, specifically up to 4-bit errors, by protecting against entire memory chip failures.

AECC

ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory typically detects and corrects single-bit errors and can detect (but not correct) two-bit errors, but it is not designed to correct up to 4-bit errors.

BRegistered

Registered (or Buffered) memory improves stability by reducing electrical load on the memory controller, but it does not provide error detection or correction capabilities itself.

CChipkillCorrect

Chipkill is a memory technology, developed by IBM, that uses a more robust error correction code to protect against multiple-bit errors within a memory chip, including simultaneous 4-bit errors, providing a higher level of data integrity than standard ECC.

DParity

Parity memory is an older error detection method that can detect single-bit errors but cannot correct them.
