Learn about various information redundancy methods such as Parity, 1-Bit-per-Word, 2-Bit-per-Byte, 3-Bit-per-Chip, 4-Bit-per-Multiple-Chips, and Two-Dimensional Parity for detecting and correcting errors in data storage. These techniques offer varying levels of protection against data corruption in computer systems.

Information Redundancy: Parity 1-Bit-per-Word: multiple errors in the same word are not guaranteed to be detected (for instance, all bi-directional faults, all 0’s, all 1’s, etc…) 2-Bit-per-Byte (or Half-Byte): detects several multiple errors per word: 3-Bit-per-Chip: the parity is associated with the word that is stored in a single chip (does not guarantee detection of multiple errors or whole chip failure).
Information Redundancy: Parity 4-Bit-per-Multiple-Chips: detects the failure of a complete chip, BUT does not locate the chip. If a chip fails, only one bit per parity group is changed in all parity groups. 5-Two-Dimensional Parity: detects and corrects several errors on the matrix. vargas@computer.org
