Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to optimize repair in a memory module based on hardware errors identified by microprocessors and a configurable error handling policy. For example, the error handling policy can have a configuration file identifying an amount of repair resources available in the memory module as manufactured. Repair status data can be stored in the memory module to determine repair resources currently available for repair. Further, the error handling policy can be configured with a list of high risk memory addresses prioritized for repair. The list can be used to schedule proactive repair in response to memory errors that would otherwise not be repaired during a typical restarting of the computer system having the memory module.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a first memory and a baseboard management controller. The first memory stores a first firmware partition and a second firmware partition. The baseboard management controller includes a second memory. The baseboard management controller begins execution of a DM-Verity daemon, and performs periodic patrol reads of the first firmware partition. The baseboard management controller detects one or more block failures in the first firmware partition, and stores information associated with the one or more block failures in a message box of the second memory. In response to the entire first firmware partition being scanned, the baseboard management controller switches a boot partition from the first firmware partition to the second firmware partition, and initiates a reboot of the information handling system.

Abstract: A memory control component encodes over-capacity data into an error correction code generated for and stored in association with an application data block, inferentially recovering the over-capacity data during application data block read-back by comparing error syndromes generated in detection/correction operations for respective combinations of each possible value of the over-capacity data and the read-back application data block.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array and a test controller. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells, where the memory cell array is divided into multiple regions. The test controller is configured to perform a parallel bit test (PBT) on the plurality of memory cells, where the test controller selects fail data including a fail data bit among internal data output from the multiple regions during the PBT, and outputs the fail data via a data input/output signal line to the outside of the memory device.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a parallel processing computer system that detects memory errors as a memory client loads data from memory and disables the memory client from storing data to memory, thereby reducing the likelihood that the memory error propagates to other memory clients. The memory client initiates a stall sequence, while other memory clients continue to execute instructions and the memory continues to service memory load and store operations. When a memory error is detected, a specific bit pattern is stored in conjunction with the data associated with the memory error. When the data is copied from one memory to another memory, the specific bit pattern is also copied, in order to identify the data as having a memory error.

Abstract: A method for signal error correction of a position signal relating to a relative position of at least one sensor with respect to a reference, includes determining a set of parameter values of a parameterized approximation of a corrected relative position with respect to time based on measurements of the position signal over a duration of at least one period of a periodic signal error of the position signal. The method further includes estimating a first corrected relative position at a first time based on the parameterized approximation using the determined set of parameter values and the first time.

Abstract: A system captures errors and stores an obsolete line bit qualifier per cache entry that can be used to dynamically mark a specific cache entry as obsolete. For example, the cache entry can be marked as obsolete after detecting repetitive single-bit errors on a same cache entry within a predetermined period of time. For cache lines marked as obsolete, a cache controller can ensure that the cache line entry remains unused. The detection of a repetitive single-bit error can be accomplished by implementing a counter per cache entry and a timer. The counter counts errors within a timer window, and a repetitive error is reported if the counter reaches a threshold level. By catching repetitive single-bit errors before such errors spread to multi-bit errors, the system can increase the life span of the server computer.
