    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to use of error correction pointers (ECPs) to handle hard errors in memory are described herein. In embodiments, a read module of a memory controller may read a codeword stored in a memory. The read module may determine a number of hard errors in the codeword. Responsive to a determination that the number of hard errors exceeds a threshold, the read module may store ECP information associated with the hard errors. The read module may include an error correction code (ECC) module to perform an ECC process on the codeword. The read module may use the ECP information to decode the codeword to recover the data responsive to a determination that the ECC process failed. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for techniques associated with protecting system critical data written to non-volatile memory. In some examples, system critical data may be written to a non-volatile memory using a first data protection scheme. User data that includes non-system critical data may also be written to the non-volatile memory using a second data protection scheme. For these examples, both data protection schemes may have a same given data format size. Various examples are provided for use of the first data protection scheme that may provide enhanced protection for the system critical data compared to protection provided to user data using the second data protection scheme. Other examples are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for techniques associated with a read and write window budget for a two level memory (2LM) system. In some examples, a read and write window budget may be established for the 2LM system that includes a first level memory and a second level memory. The established read and write window budget may include a combination of a first set of memory addresses and a second set of memory addresses of the second level of memory. The first set of memory addresses may be associated with non-volatile memory cells having wider cell threshold voltage distributions compared to cell threshold voltage distributions for non-volatile memory cells associated with the second set of memory addresses. According to some examples, the established read and write window budget may part of a strategy to meet both a completion time threshold for a given amount of memory and an acceptable error rate threshold for the given amount of memory when fulfilling read or write requests to the second level memory. Other examples are described and claimed.
