  2. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    Memory leak. In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations [ 1 ] in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code (i.e. unreachable ...

  3. Memory corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    t. e. Memory corruption occurs in a computer program when the contents of a memory location are modified due to programmatic behavior that exceeds the intention of the original programmer or program/language constructs; this is termed as violation of memory safety. The most likely causes of memory corruption are programming errors (software bugs).

    Steam is a video game digital distribution service and storefront managed by Valve. It was launched as a software client in September 2003 to provide game updates automatically for Valve's games and expanded to distributing third-party titles in late 2005. Steam offers various features, like game server matchmaking with Valve Anti-Cheat ...

  5. RAM parity - Wikipedia

    Since then errors have become less visible as simple parity RAM has fallen out of use; either they are invisible as they are not detected, or they are corrected invisibly with ECC RAM. Modern RAM is believed, with much justification, to be reliable, and error-detecting RAM has largely fallen out of use for non-critical applications.

  7. Reliability, availability and serviceability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability,_availability...

    Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS), also known as reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM), is a computer hardware engineering term involving reliability engineering, high availability, and serviceability design. The phrase was originally used by IBM as a term to describe the robustness of their mainframe computers.

  8. ECC memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory

    One 64 GiB DDR5-4800 ECC 1.1 V RDIMM. Registered, or buffered, memory is not the same as ECC; the technologies perform different functions. It is usual for memory used in servers to be both registered, to allow many memory modules to be used without electrical problems, and ECC, for data integrity.

  9. Out of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory

    Out of memory. Out of memory (OOM) is an often undesired state of computer operation where no additional memory can be allocated for use by programs or the operating system. Such a system will be unable to load any additional programs, and since many programs may load additional data into memory during execution, these will cease to function ...
