P.2.3 Extent of Automatic Source Data Correction for
Correctable Error
Upon detection of the following correctable errors ( CE ), the CPU corrects the input
data and uses the corrected data; however, the source data with the CE is not
corrected automatically.
■ CE in memory (DIMM)
■ CE in ASI_INTR_DATA_R
Upon detection of other correctable errors, the CPU automatically corrects the source
data containg the
CE .
For correctable errors in ASI_INTR_DATA , no special action is required by
privileged software because the erroneous data will be overwritten when the next
interrupt is received. For
CE in memory (DIMM), it is expected that privileged
software will correct the error in memory.
P.2.4 Error Marking for Cacheable Data Error
Error Marking for Cacheable Data
