Message storage in memory blocks using codewords

A method comprising:

• receiving a message to store in a memory block by a computing device, wherein the memory block comprises a plurality of cells, and each cell has a value of a plurality of values;
• generating a first string from the message by the computing device, wherein the first string comprises a plurality of positions, each position corresponds to a cell of the plurality of cells, and each position has a value of the plurality of values;
• determining a plurality of stuck cells of the plurality of cells by the computing device;
• determining a value of each of the plurality of stuck cells by the computing device;
• generating a second string using a mapping function, the first string, the determined value of each of the plurality of stuck cells, and the positions of the first string corresponding to the plurality of stuck cells;
• and
• storing the second string in the memory block by the computing device.

A system comprising:

• a memory controller;
• a plurality of memory blocks;
• and
• a mapping engine adapted to:
• receive a request for a message stored in a memory block of the plurality of memory blocks, wherein each memory block includes a plurality of cells;
• retrieve a first string from the memory block, wherein the first string comprises a plurality of positions, each position has a value of a plurality of values, and each position corresponds to a cell of the plurality of cells;
• determine if the first string was remapped;
• and
• if the first string was not remapped, generate the message from the first string, and provide the message in response to the request.
