Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor, a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), and a memory controller coupled to the DIMM. The memory controller provides interrupts to the processor each time a read transaction from the DIMM results in a correctable read error. The processor instantiates a failure predictor to receive the interrupts, accumulate a count of the interrupts, and provide a first error indication when the count exceeds a first error threshold. The failure predictor increments the count each time the predictor receives a particular interrupt and decrements the count in accordance with an error leak rate. The error leak rate has a first value when the DIMM is newer than a first age threshold and has a second value when the DIMM is older than the first age threshold.

The memory controller provides interrupts to the processor each time a read transaction from the DIMM results in a correctable read error. The processor instantiates a failure predictor that receives the interrupts, accumulates a count of the interrupts, and provides an error indication when the count exceeds an error threshold. The failure predictor receives a first in time interrupt, suspends the accumulation of the count for a first duration of time in response to receiving the first in time interrupt, and resumes the accumulation of the count. In resuming the accumulation of the count, the failure predictor increments the count each time the predictor receives a first subsequent interrupt and decrements the count in accordance with an error leak rate.
