MEMORY SYSTEM FAILURE DETECTION AND SELF RECOVERY OF MEMORY DICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18608652 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM FAILURE DETECTION AND SELF RECOVERY OF MEMORY DICE
The patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and systems for memory self-recovery management to correct failures caused by soft-error rate events.
- The self-recovery manager detects a failure in a memory device.
- It retrieves a set of register values from the memory device.
- The manager stores the set of register values.
- A reset command is issued to the memory device, including generating a re-initialized set of register values.
- A comparison is made between the original set of register values and the re-initialized set.
- A self-recovery attempt is triggered based on this comparison.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - High-performance computing systems - Aerospace and defense systems
Problems Solved: - Correcting failures due to soft-error rate events in memory devices - Ensuring data integrity and system reliability
Benefits: - Improved system reliability - Reduced downtime and maintenance costs - Enhanced data integrity
Commercial Applications: Title: Memory Self-Recovery Management for Enhanced System Reliability This technology can be utilized in critical systems where data integrity and reliability are paramount, such as in data centers, high-performance computing environments, and aerospace and defense applications. The ability to automatically recover from memory failures due to soft-error rate events can significantly improve system uptime and reduce the risk of data corruption.
Questions about Memory Self-Recovery Management: 1. How does memory self-recovery management differ from traditional error correction techniques? Memory self-recovery management goes beyond error correction by actively detecting failures and initiating recovery processes without human intervention. 2. What are the key factors to consider when implementing memory self-recovery management in a system? Key factors include the detection sensitivity of the system, the speed of recovery processes, and the compatibility with existing hardware and software configurations.
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.
