ECC, first implemented for main memory because the DRAM cells could easily be flipped from a 1 to a 0 by an alpha or neutron particle. Later, when cache cells got small enough, they also became susceptible, even though they are static, which is more robust to hits than dynamic cells. ECC is not something you want to leave out of a very expensive machine like that.
