Problem
1. Why do 16-bit microprocessors with byte read/write capabilities make life difficult for the designer of error-correcting memory systems? What can the designer do to overcome these difficulties?
2. If the MTBF for a given 1-Mbit DRAM chip is 0.001 percent per thousand hours, what is the probability of failure in a 16-Mbyte memory system over a period of 48 hours?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
