Data scrubbing is an error correction technique which uses a background task that periodically inspects memory for errors, and then corrects the error using a copy of the data. It reduces the likelihood that single correctable errors will accumulate; thus, reducing the risk of uncorrectable errors.

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or scrubbing:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“For my people lending their strength to the years: to the gone
years and the now years and the maybe years, washing ironing cooking scrubbing sewing mending hoeing plowing digging planting pruning patching dragging along never gaining never reaping never knowing and never understanding;”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
