Method and system for handling multiple bit errors to enhance system reliability

The present invention provides an improved method, an system, and a set of computer implemented instructions for handling a cache containing multiple single-bit hard errors on multiple addresses within a data processing system. Such handles will prevent any down time by logging in the parts to be replaced by an operator when certain level of bit errors is reached. When a hard error exists on a cache address for the first time, serviceable first hard error, that cache line is deleted. Thus the damaged memory device is no longer used by the system. As a result, the system is running with “N−x” lines wherein “N” constitutes the total number of existing lines and “x” is less than “N”. An alternative method is to exchange the damaged memory device to a spare memory device. In order to provide such services, the system must first differentiate whether an error is a soft or hard error.

Due to the fact that satellite UPD, real-time satellite orbits and real-time satellite clock errors are only related to the satellites, and short-term forecast lasting tens of seconds to a few minutes can be conducted, the information can be broadcasted to the users through the communication satellites in a broadcast mode, and then real-time data communication burdens among the users and the base stations can be greatly reduced.
