Abstract
Operating computer memory in a computer including dynamically monitoring, by a predictive failure analysis (‘PFA’) module, correctable memory errors and memory temperature and managing cooling resources in the computer in dependence upon the correctable memory errors and memory temperature.
Claims20
A method of operating computer memory in a computer, the method comprising:
- dynamically monitoring, by a predictive failure analysis (‘PFA’) module, correctable memory errors and memory temperature;
- and
- managing cooling resources in the computer in dependence upon the correctable memory errors and memory temperature.
An apparatus for operating computer memory, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, the computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions capable of:
- dynamically monitoring, by a predictive failure analysis (‘PFA’) module, correctable memory errors and memory temperature;
- and
- managing cooling resources in the computer in dependence upon the correctable memory errors and memory temperature.
A computer program product for operating computer memory, the computer program product disposed in a computer readable recording medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions capable of:
- dynamically monitoring, by a predictive failure analysis (‘PFA’) module, correctable memory errors and memory temperature;
- and
- managing cooling resources in the computer in dependence upon the correctable memory errors and memory temperature.
