Apologies, a combination of a different keyboard and gmail shortcuts cut that off. I meant to link to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_hammer. I expect bugs similar to rowhammer and mad COW to become more pervasive as architectures shift towards a combination of high core count, application specific features, and more complicated memory sharing and locking mechanisms. As far as I am aware no designs receive a human audit and are all produced by automatic synthesis tools. Certain older Intel parts are/were popular in aviation as they were the last chips to be designed by hand.
