Abstract
A cache memory includes error bits corresponding to each line of data. An error detecting circuit uses these error bits to detect if a soft error has occurred within the data of a cache line. If such an error has occurred, then the line may be refilled from the main memory or some other action taken, such as a write back or generation of a soft error abort signal.
