FYI: Today's computer chips are so advanced, they are more 'mercurial' than precise – and here's the proof

Re: Allow one to disable a core

But that assumes that an error in a particular core has been detected in the first place. Where errors would have serious consequences, I would say the best policy would be to have at least 2 different cores or CPUs running the same code in parallel, and checking that the results match. Using 3 cores/CPUs would be better and allow the errant device to be detected. Best for each to have their own RAM as well.
