Abstract
A computer architecture addresses intermittent memory faults by exploiting redundancy inherent in a hierarchical memory structure, for example, as data moves through various cache levels and registers before use by the processor. Accesses to data from faulted memory areas is diverted to a secondary memory structure holding that data and the secondary memory structure is flagged to increase the persistence of the stored data used for patching against normal updating policies.
