Abstract: Some embodiments described herein are directed to memory page or bad block monitoring and retirement algorithms, systems and methods for random access memory (RAM). Reliability issues or errors can be detected for multiple memory pages using one or more retirement criterion. In some embodiments, when reliability errors are detected, it may be desired to remove such pages from operation before they create a more serious problem, such as a computer crash. Thus, bad block retirement and replacement mechanisms are described herein.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems, methods, and devices disclosed herein are directed to implementing in-memory computer systems that offer improved performance over conventional computer systems. In some embodiments, the implementations of in-memory computer systems, devices, and methods described herein can function without reliance on conventional storage devices and thus are not subject to the bottleneck in processing speed associated with conventional storage devices. Rather, in some embodiments, the implementations of in-memory computer systems described herein include and/or utilize a processor and memory, wherein the memory is used for mass data storage, without reliance on a conventional hard drive, solid state drive, or any other peripheral storage device. Some embodiments herein relate to non-uniform real-time memory access (NURA) computing, for example on an in-memory computing system.
