Distributing storage of ecc code words

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for distributing error-correction codes. A correction module is configured to determine an error correction code (ECC) code word for storage on one or more non-volatile storage media. A mapping module is configured to determine one or more addresses for the ECC code word so that a portion of the ECC code word is stored at a first physical address within a first set of strings of storage cells of the one or more non-volatile storage media and a portion of the ECC code word is stored at a different physical address within a second set of strings of storage cells of the one or more non-volatile storage media. A storage module is configured to cause the ECC code word to be stored in the one or more non-volatile storage media based on the determined one or more addresses.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
