Abstract

The subject of automatic fault location in memory systems by program so far has been neglected in computer literature. A program (AMNESA) has been written at Honeywell that not only detects failures in memory, but also diagnoses the cause of the failure. This paper describes the approach used in the writing of AMNESA. It is also shown that this approach can be used for different memory organizations.
