Abstract

An uncorrectable error is detected in the data of a computer system. The erroneous data is allowed to be stored in first and second caches of the computer system while the system runs first and second processes, the first process being associated with the data. The first process is terminated when an attempt is made to load the data from the cache. Meanwhile, the second process continues to run.
