  • Patent number: 11874739
    Abstract: A memory module includes one or more programmable ECC engines that may be programed by a host processing element with a particular ECC implementation. As used herein, the term “ECC implementation” refers to ECC functionality for performing error detection and subsequent processing, for example using the results of the error detection to perform error correction and to encode corrupted data that cannot be corrected, etc. The approach allows an SoC designer or company to program and reprogram ECC engines in memory modules in a secure manner without having to disclose the particular ECC implementations used by the ECC engines to memory vendors or third parties.

  • Patent number: 11709745
    Abstract: A method includes, in response to a memory error indication indicating an uncorrectable error in a faulted segment, associating in a remapping table the faulted segment with a patch segment in a patch memory region, and in response to receiving from a processor a memory access request directed to the faulted segment, servicing the memory access request from the patch segment by performing the requested memory access at the patch segment based on a patch segment address identifying the location of the patch segment. The patch segment address is determined from the remapping table and corresponds to a requested memory address specified by the memory access request.

  • Patent number: 11494087
    Abstract: Memory management circuitry and processes operate to improve reliability of a group of memory stacks, providing that if a memory stack or a portion thereof fails during the product's lifetime, the system may still recover with no errors or data loss. A front-end controller receives a block of data requested to be written to memory, divides the block into sub-blocks, and creates a new redundant reliability sub-block. The sub-blocks are then written to different memory stacks. When reading data from the memory stacks, the front-end controller detects errors indicating a failure within one of the memory stacks, and recovers corrected data using the reliability sub-block. The front-end controller may monitor errors for signs of a stack failure and disable the failed stack.

  • Patent number: 11409608
    Abstract: Providing host-based error detection capabilities in a remote execution device is disclosed. A remote execution device performs a host-offloaded operation that modifies a block of data stored in memory. Metadata is generated locally for the modified of block of data such that the local metadata generation emulates host-based metadata generation. Stored metadata for the block of data is updated with the locally generated metadata for the modified portion of the block of data. When the host performs an integrity check on the modified block of data using the updated metadata, the host does not distinguish between metadata generated by the host and metadata generated in the remote execution device.
