Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method to store data from a cache line at locations having errors in a sparing directory. In response to a write operation having write data for locations in one of the cache lines, the write data for a location in the cache line having an error is written to an entry in a sparing directory including an address of the cache line.

Abstract: A method performed by a memory controller is described. The method includes, during boot up, issuing a command to a memory to cause the memory to zero out its content. The method also includes bypassing a descrambler when reading from a location in the memory that has not had its zeroed out content written over the scrambled data. The method also includes processing read data with the descrambler when reading from a location in the memory that has had its zeroed out content written over with scrambled data.

Abstract: Error correction in a memory subsystem includes a memory device generating internal check bits after performing internal error detection and correction, and providing the internal check bits to the memory controller. The memory device performs internal error detection to detect errors in read data in response to a read request from the memory controller. The memory device selectively performs internal error correction if an error is detected in the read data. The memory device generates check bits indicating an error vector for the read data after performing internal error detection and correction, and provides the check bits with the read data to the memory controller in response to the read request. The memory controller can apply the check bits for error correction external to the memory device.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide selective access to data error information by a memory controller. In an embodiment, a memory device stores a first value representing a baseline number of data errors determined prior to operation of the memory device with the memory controller. Error detection logic of the memory device determines a current count of data errors, and calculates a second value representing a difference between the count of data errors and the baseline number of data errors. The memory device provides the second value to the memory controller, which is unable to identify that the second value is a relative error count. In another embodiment, the memory controller is restricted from retrieving the baseline number of data errors.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for generating common locator bits to locate a device or column error during error correction operation for a memory subsystem having memory modules, each including a plurality of memory devices. Error detection logic generates common locator bits from device bits in a plurality of memory devices in one of the memory modules. The error detection logic uses the common locator bits to locate a column across at least two of the memory devices having an error when there is a column error and to locate a memory device in the devices having an error when there is a device error. A same of the common locator bits are used to locate both one of the columns and the memory devices having errors. Error correction is performed on the located memory device or column having the error.

Abstract: Memory subsystem error management enables dynamically changing lockstep partnerships. A memory subsystem has a lockstep partnership relationship between a first memory portion and a second memory portion to spread error correction over the pair of memory resources. The lockstep partnership can be preconfigured. In response to detecting a hard error in the lockstep partnership, the memory subsystem can cancel or reverse the lockstep partnership between the first memory portion and the second memory portion and create or set a new lockstep partnership. The detected error can be a second hard error in the lockstep partnership. The memory subsystem can create new lockstep partnerships between the first memory portion and a third memory portion as lockstep partners and between the second memory portion and a fourth memory portion as lockstep partners. The memory subsystem can also be configured to change the granularity of the lockstep partnership when changing partnerships.

Abstract: Error correction in a memory subsystem includes determining whether an error is a transient error or a persistent error, and adjusting an approach to ECC (error checking and correction) based on error type. The type of error can be determined by a built in self-test. If the error is a persistent error, the memory controller can perform in erasure mode, including correcting an erasure for an identified error location prior to applying an ECC correction algorithm. Otherwise, if the error is transient, the memory controller can perform standard full ECC correction by applying the ECC correction algorithm.
