An example memory error ranking system is provided. The system may include an error detector logic that detects memory errors and a ranking logic that ranks the quality of a memory location based on memory errors detected by the error detector logic.

Memory error ranking

Methodology, systems and media associated with selectively allocating memory are described. One exemplary method embodiment comprises receiving a quality data that identifies the quality of one or more allocatable subsets of a memory and selectively allocating a subset of memory from the allocatable memory to an application based, at least in part, on memory quality as identified in the quality data.

Selective memory allocation

An example memory quality assuring system is provided. The system may include a memory mapping logic configured to facilitate accessing memory locations and redirecting memory accessing operations. The system may also include a memory quality assurance logic configured to logically replace a first memory location with a second memory location, to initiate testing logically isolated memory locations, and to selectively logically remove tested memory locations based on the testing. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the application. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be employed to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Memory quality assurance

An example memory scrubbing logic is provided. The logic may be operably connectable to a main memory and a processor. The memory access logic may include a memory for mirroring a main memory location and a logic for scrubbing the main memory location.
