  • Patent number: 10853216
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating write tracking for following data eye movements across changing thermal conditions in memory systems according to one embodiment of the invention. A method of embodiments of the invention includes monitoring movements of a valid data eye associated with a memory device of a plurality of memory devices of a memory system at a computing system. The monitoring may include initiating write commands during one or more refresh periods associated with the valid data eye. The method may include determining drifting in the movement of the data eye, and correcting the drifting based on adjusting one or more existing phase interpolator values associated with the movements of the data eye.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140089755
    Abstract: Method and apparatus to efficiently detect/correct memory errors. A command and an address associated with a data transaction may be received. Parity information associated with the command/address may be received. In response to detecting a parity error, a data array of a memory device may be locked. An indicator indicating the parity error may be sent. A first portion of a memory page to store data may be reserved. A second portion of the memory page to store error correction codes associated with the data may be reserved. The second portion's size may equal or exceed the error correction code capacity needed for the maximum possible data stored in the first portion. A cache line of data may be stored in the first portion. An error correction code associated with the cache line of data may be stored in the second portion.
