A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with the value one in a set of bits is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code.
It's a track (a section of a magnetic disk, or a section of any given storage device that emulates a magnetic disk that uses the the LBA/CHS[Cylinder, Head, Sector]) that the computing device dedicates to store parity data (data to aid in error verification/correction for data that is stored on the disk).
That's called a "parity violation", which indicates a bit error in the byte. That's the whole purpose of parity ... detecting bit errors, although in order to do it, you have to significantly increase the data load by adding an extra bit to every 7 or 8 bits in the end-user's business traffic.
There are two types of parity bits.they are even and odd parity.
A parity error always causes the system to hault. On the screen, you see the error message parity error 1 (parity error on the motherboard) or parity error 2 (parity error on an expansion card)
parity error
Parity of Authority and Responsibility?
the purpose was to keep track of holidays farming and astronomy
It can be calculated via an XOR sum of the bits, yielding 0 for even parity and 1 for odd parity
Parity error indicates bad memory. Parity checks compare the memory read with what was writen.
Parity Error
In high school football there is not always parity of skill levels among the teams. Parity means equal. It became evident that the skill level among the high school football team is not of parity.
