Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented method to mark data as persistent using spare bits. The method includes receiving, by a memory system, a set of data, wherein the set of data includes a subset of meta-bits, and the set of data is received as a plurality of transfers, and wherein the memory system includes a first rank and a second rank. The method also includes decoding, by a decoder, the subset of meta-bits, wherein the subset of meta-bits are configured to indicate the set of data is important. The method further includes storing, based on the decoding, the set of data in a persistent storage medium.

Abstract: A technique relates to operating a memory controller. The memory controller drives first memory devices and second memory devices of the memory controller in a dual channel mode. A first error correcting code (ECC) memory device and a second ECC memory device protect the first memory devices and the second memory devices. The memory controller drives the first memory devices and the second memory devices in a single channel mode such that the second ECC memory device is a spare memory device, and the first ECC memory device protects the first memory devices and the second memory devices. The memory controller is configured to switch between the dual channel mode and the single channel mode.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to managing volatile and non-volatile memory. A set of volatile memory sensor data may be obtained. A set of non-volatile memory sensor data may be obtained. The set of volatile memory sensor data and the set of non-volatile memory sensor data may be analyzed. A memory condition may be determined to exist based on the analysis. In response to determining that the memory condition exists, one or more memory actions may be issued.

Abstract: A technique relates to operating a memory controller. A feedback mode is initiated such that an identified memory device of first memory devices includes an identified bit lane on a data bus to be utilized for testing. A process includes sending commands on the 1-N bit lanes of the command address bus to a buffer and duplicating commands designated for a selected one of the 1-N bit lanes. The process includes sending the duplicated commands on the identified bit lane in route to the buffer, and receiving a result of a parity check for the commands sent on the 1-N bit lanes, such that when the result is a pass the process ends. When the result is a fail, a duplicated parity check is performed using duplicated commands on the identified bit lane in place of the selected one. When the duplicated parity check passes, the selected one is bad.

Abstract: An NVDIMM requests an authentication object in response to a detected command to initiate a save operation to copy first memory data located in volatile memory on the NVDIMM to non-volatile memory located on the NVDIMM. The NVDIMM determines based on the authentication object that authentication has failed. The NVDIMM implements, in response to determining that authentication has failed, a security measure to prevent recovery of the first memory data.
