摘要:
Various examples of the present technology provide systems and methods for testing whether there is any memory error in a server system, determining physical memory addresses corresponding to a detected memory error on one or more memory devices of the server system, and preventing the physical memory addresses corresponding to the detected memory error from accessing by an operating system, application programs, and/or other components of the server system.

Systems and methods disclosed herein include those that may receive a memory request including a requested memory address and may send the memory request directly to an address decoder associated with a stacked-die memory vault without knowing whether a repair address is required. If a subsequent analysis of the memory request shows that a repair address is required, an in-process decode of the requested memory address can be halted and decoding of the repair address initiated.

For recording or replaying in real-time digital HDTV signals very fast memories are required. For storage of streaming HD video data NAND flash memory based systems can be used. However, NAND flash memories have a slow write access, and they have unmasked production defects. Write or read operations can be carried out on complete physical data blocks only, and defect data blocks must not be used by the file system. Logical file system blocks are used which are larger than the physical data blocks. According to the invention the error reporting mechanism of the NAND flash memories is exploited. The video data is not only written to the nonvolatile flash memories, but is also written to corresponding buffer slots (LFSB) of a volatile SRAM or DRAM memory operating in parallel. The video data are kept in the volatile memory until the flash memory holding the respective data has reported that its program or write operation succeeded. Once this has taken place, the data within the volatile memory can be overwritten in order to save memory capacity. If the flash memory has reported an error, the respective block (FSBD) of data is marked bad and will not be overwritten until the end of the entire recorded take has been reached. At this time, the marked video data from the volatile memory are copied to spare flash-blocks within the flash memories.

Systems and methods are disclosed that are responsive to a rate of change of a performance parameter of a memory. In a particular embodiment, a rate of change of a performance parameter of a non-volatile memory is determined. The rate of change is compared to a threshold, and an action is performed in response to determining that the rate of change satisfies the threshold.
