Subject matter disclosed herein relates to on-the-fly remapping a memory device by hardware-switching data paths to locations of the memory device.

Hardwired remapped memory

Subject matter disclosed herein relates to a user-switchable error correction coding (ECC) engine residing on a memory die.

Switchable on-die memory error correcting engine

Described herein are methods for accessing a block-based storage device having a memory-mapped interface and a block interface. In one embodiment, an apparatus (e.g., block-based storage device) includes a storage array to store data and a memory-mapped interface that is coupled to the storage array. The memory-mapped interface includes memory-mapped memory space. The memory-mapped interface receives direct access requests from a host to directly access memory-mapped files. The apparatus also includes a block interface that is coupled to the storage array. The block interface receives block requests from a storage driver to access the storage array.

Block-based storage device with a memory-mapped interface

A host accessing memory devices by providing common address and command information on a parallel-connected serial bus to each of the memory devices and shifting data in the memory devices through a daisy-chain serial interface.

Daisy chaining nonvolatile memories

A memory device may comprise a port to receive remap information regarding a memory device and may comprise a content-addressable memory (CAM) to store the remap information, wherein the CAM may comprise a nonvolatile, discretely-addressable memory.
