    摘要: Channel marking is provided in a memory system that includes a first memory channel, a second memory channel, and error correction code (ECC) logic. The memory system is configured to perform a method that includes receiving a request to apply a first channel mark to the first memory channel and determining a priority level of the first channel mark. A request is received to apply a second channel mark to the second memory channel, and a priority level of the second mark is determined. It is determined that the priority level of the first channel mark is higher than the priority level of the second channel mark. The first channel mark is supplied to the ECC logic while blocking the second channel mark from the ECC logic.

    摘要: Channel marking is provided in a memory system that includes a memory channel with a plurality of memory devices. The memory devices are arranged into a first group of memory devices and a second group of memory devices. The memory system is configured to perform a method that includes determining that more than a threshold number of memory devices in the first group are failing. An error correction code (ECC) is configured to compensate for errors associated with memory devices in the first group on the memory channel and to perform error correction on errors associated with memory devices in the second group on the memory channel.

    摘要: Correcting memory device (chip) and memory channel failures in the presence of known memory device failures. A memory channel failure is located and corrected, or alternatively up to c chip failures are corrected and up to d chip failures are detected in the presence of up to u chips that are marked as suspect. A first stage of decoding is performed that results in recovering an estimate of correctable errors affecting the data or in declaring an uncorrectable error state. When an uncorrectable error state is declared, a second stage of decoding is performed to attempt to correct u erasures and a channel error in M iterations where the channel location is changed in each iteration. A correctable error is declared in response to exactly one of the M iterations being successful.
