PAGE OFFLINING BASED ON FAULT-AWARE PREDICTION OF IMMINENT MEMORY ERROR

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. The failure prediction can account for the circuit-level architecture of the memory rather than the mere number or frequency of correctable errors. A controller correlates the hardware configuration of the memory with historical error data, and generates an estimate of pages for a host operating system (OS) to offline based on predicting uncorrectable errors (UEs).
