Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus, methods, systems, computer-readable storage media and devices are described herein for determining an error category for a detected error in data read from a volatile memory; and selectively performing or causing an additional remedial action based at least in part on the error category determined. In various embodiments, the determining and the performing or causing may be undertaken in response to the correcting. The memory may be volatile or non-volatile memory. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A register not connected to a data bus is read by transferring data across an address bus to a device connected to the data bus, from which the data is read by a device connected to the data bus. The register resides in a register device connected via the address bus to a memory device that is connected to both the address bus and the data bus. A host processor triggers the register device to transfer information over the address bus to a register on the memory device. The host processor then reads the information from the register of the memory device.
