    摘要: A method and apparatus for coordinating dynamic memory page deallocation with a redundant bit line steering mechanism are provided. With the method and apparatus, memory scrubbing and redundant bit line steering operations are performed in parallel with handling of notifications of runtime correctable errors. When a correctable error is encountered during runtime, and the correctable error is determined to be persistent, then dynamic memory page deallocation is requested of a hypervisor. The determination of persistence is based on a history CE table that is populated by the operation of the memory scrubbing and redundant bit line steering mechanism of a service processor. Thus, only those correctable errors that persist for longer than one memory scrubbing cycle are subject to memory page deallocation.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, set uncorrectable error indicators in logical memory blocks in response to detecting an uncorrectable error in memory pages associated with the logical memory blocks. If the logical memory block is allocated to a hypervisor, the memory page may be deallocated in response to detection of the uncorrectable error. When an IPL of a partition is subsequently performed, a determination is made whether a logical memory block allocated to the partition previously encountered the uncorrectable error via the uncorrectable error indicator. If the logical memory block did previously encounter the uncorrectable error, the logical memory block is deallocated from the partition. In an embodiment, if spare memory exists, the logical memory block with the previously encountered uncorrectable error is replaced with the spare memory and the IPL of the partition is continued with the spare memory. If spare memory does not exist, the IPL of the partition is continued without the logical memory block that previously encountered the uncorrectable error. This allows a partition to IPL if it had not been able to because of a persistent uncorrectable error in its IPL path.

    摘要: A message originator sends a picture or video message to a message center along with caller identifying information. The message is stored in a memory and transmitted to a wireless picture phone, PDA or portable computing device, or stored at the message center in a memory or hard disk drive for later retrieval by a message recipient. The picture or video message may be encoded, encrypted or compressed prior to receipt by the wireless device.
