Random swap injection

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a memory controller coupled to the memory, wherein the memory controller includes one or more circuitries to apply wear leveling with random swap injection, wherein the wear leveling with random swap injection is applied during read or write operations to the memory,
• wherein the memory comprises a plurality of memory banks, wherein an individual memory bank of the plurality of memory banks includes N cache lines or words and a gap word,
• wherein the memory controller includes a random number generator to generate a random number between a first number and a second number for random swap injection, wherein the one or more circuitries are to swap the gap word with a cache line or word in response to a request and based on the random number being less than a second threshold,
• wherein the gap word has an associated gap pointer, and
• wherein the one or more circuitries is to increment the associated gap pointer after the swap.

A system comprising:

• a processor core;
• a memory coupled to the processor core;
• a memory controller coupled to the memory, wherein the memory controller includes one or more circuitries to apply wear leveling with random swap injection, and wherein the wear leveling with random swap injection is applied during read or write operations to the memory;
• and
• a communication interface coupled to the processor core,
• wherein the memory comprises a plurality of memory banks, wherein an individual memory bank of the plurality of memory banks includes N cache lines or words and a gap word,
• wherein the memory controller is to swap the gap word with a cache line or word after it is determined that a number of references to the individual memory bank is equal to a threshold,
• wherein the gap word has an associated gap pointer, and
• wherein the memory controller is to increment the associated gap pointer after the swap.
