MEMORY SYSTEM FAILURE DETECTION AND SELF RECOVERY OF MEMORY DICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877779 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM FAILURE DETECTION AND SELF RECOVERY OF MEMORY DICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, apparatus, and system for managing memory self-recovery to correct failures caused by soft-error rate events. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The self-recovery manager detects a failure in a memory device.
- It retrieves a set of register values from the memory device.
- The set of register values is stored by the self-recovery manager.
- A reset command is issued to the memory device, which generates a re-initialized set of register values.
- The self-recovery manager compares the original set of register values with the re-initialized set.
- If there is a discrepancy, the self-recovery manager triggers a self-recovery attempt using the comparison.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory management in computer systems
- Error correction in electronic devices
- Data recovery in storage systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Soft-error rate events causing memory failures
- Loss of data or functionality due to memory device failures
Benefits of this technology:
- Automatic detection and recovery from memory failures
- Preservation of register values during the recovery process
- Improved reliability and stability of memory devices
Original Abstract Submitted
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems including memory self-recovery management to correct failures due to soft-error rate events. The self-recovery manager detects a failure of a memory device. The self-recovery manager retrieves a set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager stores the set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager issues a reset command to the memory device, the reset command including generating a re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager compares the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager triggering a self-recovery attempt using the comparison of the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values.
