  2. Bus error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_error

    In modern use on most architectures these are much rarer than segmentation faults, which occur primarily due to memory access violations: problems in the logical address or permissions. On POSIX-compliant platforms, bus errors usually

  3. Page fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault

    Illegal accesses and invalid page faults can result in a segmentation fault or bus error, resulting in an app or OS crash. Software bugs are often the causes of these problems, but hardware memory errors, such as those caused by overclocking, may corrupt pointers and cause valid code to fail.

  4. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.

  5. Segmentation fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

    Segmentation faults can also occur independently of page faults: illegal access to a valid page is a segmentation fault, but not an invalid page fault, and segmentation faults can occur in the middle of a page (hence no page fault), for example in a buffer overflow that stays within a page but illegally overwrites memory.

  6. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    When physical memory is not full this is a simple operation; the page is written back into physical memory, the page table and TLB are updated, and the instruction is restarted. However, when physical memory is full, one or more pages in physical memory will need to be paged out to make room for the requested page.

  7. Memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit

    When segmentation is enabled by turning on protected mode, the segment number acts as an index into a table of segment descriptors; a segment descriptor contains a base physical address, a segment length, a presence bit to indicate whether the segment is currently in memory, permission bits, and control bits, If the offset in the segment is ...

  8. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computing, a process is the instance of a computer program that is being executed by one or many threads.

  9. Burst error-correcting code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burst_error-correcting_code

    Performance of CIRC: [7] CIRC conceals long bust errors by simple linear interpolation. 2.5 mm of track length (4000 bits) is the maximum completely correctable burst length. 7.7 mm track length (12,300 bits) is the maximum burst length that can be interpolated.
