Abstract: A system can predict memory device failure through identification of correctable error patterns based on the memory architecture. The failure prediction can thus account for the circuit-level of the memory rather than the mere number or frequency of correctable errors.

Abstract: A system can respond to detection or prediction of an uncorrectable error (UE) in memory based on fault-aware analysis. The fault-aware analysis enables the system to generate a determination of a specific hardware element of the memory that is faulty. In response to detection of an error, the system can correlate a hardware configuration of the memory device with historical data indicating memory faults for hardware elements of the hardware configuration. Based on a determination of the specific component that likely caused the UE, the system can identify a region of memory associated with the detected UE and mirror the faulty region to a reserved memory space of the memory device for access to data of the faulty region.

Abstract: A system can predict what pages of memory the system should offline based on identification of how correctable error patterns correlate to the memory architecture.
