9.8 Error Protection Schemes Used by R10000
Parity
Parity is used to protect the primary caches and various System interface buses. The processor uses both odd and even parity schemes:
- in an odd parity scheme, the total number of ones on the protected data and the corresponding parity bit should be odd
- in an even parity scheme, the total number of ones on the protected data and the corresponding parity bit should be even.
