Therefore, a soft-decision decoder will typically perform better in the presence of corrupted data than its hard-decision counterpart.
The "iceberg" of corrupted data includes much more than potential virus infections.
User data-entry errors, program bugs, power failures and other problems are by far the largest cause of corrupted data.
It works by including a hidden directory on the CD which contains corrupted data.
A reliable system does not silently continue and deliver results that include uncorrected corrupted data.
If data becomes corrupted in a way that is not immediately detected, these technologies will simply protect the corrupted data.
To contain the scope of failures and of corrupted data, these multi-computer systems have no shared central components, not even main memory.
This approach easily scaled to multiple-computer clusters and helped isolate corrupted data before it propagates.
(Translation: 75% of the time this technique resulted in corrupted data.)
The Action Replay can, however, fix the memory card by formatting it, but the corrupted data cannot be restored.
