...Hardware-software cooperative techniques have been proposed to decrease refresh rate and allow retention errors only in unused [11, 50] or non-critical [26] regions of memory, but these substantially complicate the operating system while still requiring significant hardware support....

...[26] propose Flikker, in which programmers designate data as non-critical, and non-critical data is refreshed at a much lower rate, allowing retention errors to occur....
