I wonder if semi-reliable RAM could be made to work for training. After all gradient descent already works in a stochastic environment, so maybe the noise from a few flipped bits doesn't matter too much.

Also, depends on the nature of the error. If only a small memory range is affected, you could patch the kernel to avoid it.

No need for patching you can disable specific ranges on Linux using the memmap kernel parameter. It's often used for that purpose.
