Abstract: A method for mirroring in three-dimensional-stacked memory includes receiving a plurality of thermal profiles from a plurality of memory chips. The method also includes ranking the plurality of memory chips in a first ranked list of memory chips as a function of the plurality of thermal profiles and forming a first group of memory chips from the plurality of memory chips based on the first ranked list of memory chips. The method also includes forming a second group of memory chips from the plurality of memory chips distinct from the first group of memory chips based on the first ranked list of memory chips. The method also includes pairing a first memory chip from the first group of memory chips and a second memory chip from the second group of memory chips, and mirroring the pairing of memory chips.
