Auto-disabling dram error checking on threshold

A memory system comprising:

• a memory device, the memory device including a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) configured for:
• receiving data at the DRAM, the receiving from a memory controller;
• executing, at the DRAM, error checking logic based on the data;
• detecting, by the error checking logic, an error condition in the data;
• determining, at the DRAM, whether detecting the error condition in the data causes an error threshold to be reached;
• disabling the error checking logic at the DRAM in response to determining that detecting the error condition in the data causes the error the error threshold to be reached;
• and
• communicating the error condition to the memory controller in response to determining that detecting the error condition does not cause the error threshold to be reached.

A computer program product for disabling error checking in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by processing circuitry to cause the processing circuitry to:

• receive data at the DRAM, the receiving from a memory controller;
• execute, at the DRAM, error checking logic based on the data;
• detect, by the error checking logic, an error condition in the data;
• determine, at the DRAM, whether detecting the error condition in the data causes an error threshold to be reached;
• disable the error checking logic at the DRAM in response to determining that detecting the error condition in the data causes the error the error threshold to be reached;
• and
• communicate the error condition to the memory controller in response to determining that detecting the error condition does not cause the error threshold to be reached.
