    摘要: A system to improve error code decoding using historical information. An example system includes storage partitioned into memory ranks, and a table to record symbols having failures for each memory rank. The system generates a memory rank score for each memory rank. The system also includes an error control decoder that uses the memory rank score when each memory rank is accessed in order to determine whether an error should be corrected or not.

    摘要: A system to improve memory reliability in computer systems that may include memory chips, and may rely on a error control encoder to send codeword symbols for storage in each of the memory chips. At least two symbols from a codeword are assigned to each memory chip and therefore failure of any of the memory chips could affect two symbols or more. The system may also include a table to record failures and partial failures of the codeword symbols for each of the memory chips so the error control encoder can correct subsequent partial failures based upon the previous partial failures. The error control coder is capable of correcting and/or detecting more errors if only a fraction of a chip is noted in the table as having a failure as opposed to a full chip noted as having a failure.

    摘要: A hub device, memory system, and method for providing a cascade interconnect memory system with enhanced reliability. The hub device includes an interface to a high-speed bus for communicating with a memory controller. The memory controller and the hub device are included in a cascade interconnect memory system and the high-speed bus includes bit lanes and one or more clock lanes. The hub device also includes a bi-directional fault signal line in communication with the memory controller and readable by a service interface. The hub device also includes a fault isolation register (FIR) for storing information about failures detected at the hub device, the information including severity levels of the detected failures. In addition, the hub device includes error recovery logic for responding to a failure detected at the hub device.

In addition, the hub device includes error recovery logic for responding to a failure detected at the hub device. Responding to the error includes recording a severity level of the failure in the FIR and taking an action at the hub device that is responsive to the severity level of the failure. The action includes one or more of fast clock stop, setting the bi-directional fault indicator, setting cyclical redundancy code (CRC) bits and transmitting them to the memory controller, re-try, sparing out a bit lane and sparing out a clock lane.
