Technologies for providing error correction for row direction and column direction in a cross point memory

A method comprising:

• reading, by media access circuitry coupled to a memory media having a cross point architecture, a column of data;
• reading, by the media access circuitry and from the memory media, column error correction code (ECC) check data appended to the column of data;
• and
• performing, by the media access circuitry, error correction on the column of data with the column ECC check data to produce error-corrected data.

One or more machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause media access circuitry included in a memory to:

• reading, from a memory media having a cross point architecture, a column of data;
• read, from the memory media, column error correction code (ECC) check data appended to the column of data;
• and
• perform error correction on the column of data with the column ECC check data to produce error-corrected data.
