Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, memory modules containing phase change memory elements may be organized so that each memory integrated circuit includes both data and error correcting code. As a result of including the error correcting code in each integrated circuit, extra accesses of the memory module to extract the error correcting code can be avoided, improving the performance of the overall memory module in some embodiments.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- enabling a memory integrated circuit to store data with error correcting code;
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to enable a processor to store data with error correcting code in a memory integrated circuit.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory integrated circuit;
- and
- a controller, coupled to said circuit to store data with error correcting code in a memory integrated circuit.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to enable a processor to read data and error correcting code from a memory integrated circuit in one read access.
