EDAC is the concept, ECC is a family of algorithmic solutions in the service of the concept. Specific implementations of ECC are the engineering solution that implement the specific form of ECC in specific devices at the hardware or software level.
It’s confusing because EDAC and ECC seem to mean the same thing, but ECC is a term primarily used in memory integrity, where EDAC is a system level concept.
