    =========================================================================
    Date: 96/01/05
    Subject: EOS memory reliability and technology advantages

    1) EOS does ECC on a byte boundary, so at any given address, EOS is
    capable of fixing EIGHT!!! single-bit errors at a time (remember that
    for an 8-byte interface, EOS must be used in pairs, hence 8 errors). A
    Compaq Prosignia 300/Proliant 1500 does standard ECC on an 8-byte
    boundary and can correct only 1 bit per address. A Compaq Proliant
    2000/4000 uses "advanced" ECC which is done across 16 bytes. Using this
    wide ECC word, they can correct any given bad 4-bit DRAM, or 4 bits/16
    bytes (2 bits/8 bytes). In marketing lingo, this translates to EOS being
    4X more powerful an ECC scheme!!! How-ever, that is really stretching
    things ;-) Note that "advanced" ECC requires SIMMs to be plugged in
    sets of 4 instead of set of 2.

    2) Performance can be better with EOS. Native ECC has to pay a several
    cycle performance hit any time a word less than the bus width (8
    bytes/16 bytes) gets written. Much attention can be paid to minimize
    this effect with posted-write buffers, but the final impact can range
    from near 0% to 20%, depending on the code being run (lots of byte
    writes) and the cleverness of the implementation (byte-write gathering
    scheme). I have never attempted to see if native ECC running X-2-2-2
    with 60ns EDO is better than EOS at 70ns with no byte writes...perhaps
    we should call that case a draw.

    3) Per the above mentioned presentation, upwards of 95% of all memory
    errors are caused by soft errors. A rule of thumb I use is 1 soft error
    per month per 256MB of memory. Because of this, one could argue that
    having an error reporting scheme is counterproductive. The customer will
    see these soft errors periodically and think his memory should be
    changed, while in fact the fails are unavoidable (unless you're 50 feet underground) and should be ignored. Having good error reporting was
    actually a major thorn in the side of our S/390 brethren because the
    customer could tell whenever a soft error was occurring, but their
    competitors did not have good reporting in their boxes, so they seemed
    to be better off! I don't know how you argue this one with the
    customer...good luck!

    4) EOS is a much more flexible solution. If today's mission critical
    department server becomes tomorrow's uncritical print server, the EOS
    memory can be swapped out for regular parity SIMMs and the ECC function
    can be moved to another machine that may not have native ECC. This
    flexibility of moving the ECC via EOS to the machines that need it could
    be a powerful argument for a smart IS group supporting a large
    enterprise with many PCs.

    5) EOS is, in a sense, much more highly redundant than native ECC. If
    the ECC algorithm in a native ECC memory controller goes bad, then all
    of the memory goes bad. If the circuitry in one of the distributed ECC
    chips on the EOS SIMMs goes bad, only one byte of one SIMM goes bad, and
    the OS has a chance of deallocating that memory and marching forward.

    I have two 16 Mb 70ns 5v EOS Simms. Has these any use for PS/2 PCs?
    My 9557 accepts only total 16 MB of memory and one simm sice is max 8 MB but how about 8595 or others?

    The following memory options complement the Options by IBM family of
    offerings:

    4MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    8MB (Wide) 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    8MB (Tall) 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    16MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    32MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade

    The IBM ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades offer 4MB, 8MB, 16MB and 32MB of error-correcting-code (ECC) memory on a SIMM. This upgrade family -- a plug-compatible, fully retrofittable series of 70ns memory modules --

    allows you to upgrade a parity system to a fully functional single-error-correct (SEC) ECC system. The ECC function is completely self-contained on the SIMM and provides correction of single-bit errors that

    occur in each byte of SIMM data. No processor changes are required to
    receive the enhanced reliability this SIMM family offers.

    The ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades are organized as x36 bits, support
    parity, and are packaged on a 72-pin JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device
    Engineering Council) standard SIMM with gold tabs. The 4MB SIMM has IBM

    presence detects, while the 8MB (Tall and Wide), 16MB and 32MB SIMMs
    have industry standard presence detects.

    Use of the ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades is recommended when processing
    critical applications on systems without native ECC. Enhanced data
    integrity and memory reliability are provided with no system performance

    penalty. The upgrades are extremely important in server environments
    where single-bit memory errors can impact all users on the network.

    The following memory options complement the Options by IBM family of offerings:

    4MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    8MB (Wide) 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    8MB (Tall) 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    16MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade
    32MB 70ns ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrade

    The IBM ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades offer 4MB, 8MB, 16MB and 32MB of error-correcting-code (ECC) memory on a SIMM. This upgrade family -- a plug-compatible, fully retrofittable series of 70ns memory modules --

    allows you to upgrade a parity system to a fully functional single-error-correct (SEC) ECC system. The ECC function is completely self-contained on the SIMM and provides correction of single-bit errors that

    occur in each byte of SIMM data. No processor changes are required to receive the enhanced reliability this SIMM family offers.

    The ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades are organized as x36 bits, support
    parity, and are packaged on a 72-pin JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council) standard SIMM with gold tabs. The 4MB SIMM has IBM

    presence detects, while the 8MB (Tall and Wide), 16MB and 32MB SIMMs
    have industry standard presence detects.

    Use of the ECC-on-SIMM Memory Upgrades is recommended when processing critical applications on systems without native ECC. Enhanced data
    integrity and memory reliability are provided with no system performance

    penalty. The upgrades are extremely important in server environments
    where single-bit memory errors can impact all users on the network.

    Any reason why 11H0621/11H0622 would hang in a Reply TurboProcessor 80? The system boots but eventually hangs.

    No idea. Does the system boot normally with FPM?

    OK, coffee injection to War Power settings... rammed the throttle
    through the seals....

    The 4MB and 8MB EoS are marketed for the PS/2. the 16MB are not. Why?
    Dunno. Only the Lacuna, 85X and 85K can handle 16MB FPM, and therefore,
    the 16MB EoS.

    Standard 4MB of RAM, expandable to 128MB

    Reply offers 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, and 16MB memory module option kits. You must install the modules in pairs (two modules for each bank). Modules in
    different banks do not need to be of the same density, however, ECC and
    Parity memory modules cannot be installed on the same Reply system
    board. Memory modules are not required to be installed in any specific
    bank order.

    4MB on-board | 128MB = Maximum
    Type 2, 4, 8, 16MB memory modules types are supported:
    “Industry standard" x 36 parity, 72-pin SIMMs
    “IBM Proprietary" x 36 parity, 72-pin SIMMs
    “Industry standard" x 40 ECC, 72-pin SIMMs
    (For maximum performance, 70nS recommended)

    ECC looks odd, typo? PS/2 ECC x39. RS/6000 x40.

    https://www.ardent-tool.com/Reply/Turbo_60_80_Manual.pdf

    Physical page 39. Reply has two SIMM sockets next to each other as a
    "Bank", while IBM had arrangements where [at least on the 95] "A" bank
    and "B" bank are grouped together.

    Whatever, Reply has "Bank 1", analogous to A1/B1, "Bank 2" analogous to
    A2/B2, usw...

    If you are wandting to try EoS, fill one bank with a matched pair of
    EoS. EoS CANNOT be used in the same bank as FPM because you need two EoS
    to generate the ECC.

    Now as to the next question, I dunno. Can EoS banks and FPM banks exist
    in the same system?

    Try it, I will trumpet your success or commiserate with your failure...
