That's not a specification that is easily "measureable" or tested, so it doesn't get published. Heck, I'd be happy to run across a "flash memory error simulator" to test our EDAC implementations here. Sure, you can cobble a "flash emulator" up in a FPGA, but who's to say if it's realistic. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
