A method and a corresponding apparatus provide for remapping for wear leveling of a memory (10). The method (300) is implemented as logic and includes the steps of receiving (305) a memory operation, the memory operation including a logical memory address (20); dividing the logical address into a logical block address portion (22), a logical line address portion (24), and a logical subline address portion (26); translating (315) the logical block address portion into a physical block address (23); selecting (320) a line remap key (33); applying the line remap key to the logical line address portion to produce a physical line address (25); producing (335) a physical subline address portion (26); and combining (340) the physical block, line, and subline address portions to produce a physical address (28) for the memory operation.
A method (300) for remapping for wear leveling of a memory (10), the method implemented as logic, comprising:
A remapping apparatus, used for wear leveling and implemented as logic, wherein a memory (10) receives translated physical addresses for certain memory operations, the translated physical addresses providing a leveling of use of areas of the memory, comprising:
