Exhaustive testing to detect software errors constantly demands more time within development cycles. Software errors with catastrophic consequences have often pushed forward innovations in software ...

Computers employ a variety of schemes to check whether a chunk of digital information–transmitted as a message, stored in a database, or functioning as a set of instructions–remains error-free. Such ...

Correction is not possible with one parity bit since any bit error in any position creates exactly the same information as bad parity. If more bits are integrated ...

This type of a code uses memory, the previous 6 bits, in addition to the new 3 input bits to generate the output. An additional technique is to ‘puncture’ the code. This drops some bits from the ...

Tom Ball, software engineering research manager from Microsoft Research, led a one-day MakeCode workshop on March 2, at the ATLAS Laboratory for Playful Computation. The packed room included students ...

IBM scientists today unveiled two critical advances towards the realization of a practical quantum computer. For the first time, they showed the ability to detect and measure both kinds of quantum ...

As with any electronic system, errors in the memory subsystem are possible due to design failures/defects or electrical noise in any one of the components. These errors are classified as either ...

Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

An aerospace technology that combines a camera, a laser-projection system, and special software provides inline inspection and error detection in the layup of ...
