Chipkill

Chipkill is an error correction technology used primarily in computer memory (RAM) modules. It is designed to protect against data corruption by detecting and correcting errors that can occur at the chip level of DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) modules. Traditional error correction methods, like ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, generally focus on detecting and correcting single-bit errors. Chipkill takes this a step further by allowing the correction of multiple bit errors that might occur within a single memory chip.
