About the ECC functionality in DRAMSim2 #50

I'm wondering if you have implemented the Error Correcting Code in DRAMSim2? I'm still looking into the codes but it seems to be a huge work to do. I really appreciate it if you can tell me!

Sorry that these issues have gone unanswered. Since DRAMSim2 typically doesn't store data, we don't model ECC. You could change the bus with to 72 bits and insert a delay in the memory controller to model the latency and data transfer, but there isn't that much value in actually doing ECC computations in a performance simulator in my opinion.
