Abstract
Some embodiments described herein are directed to memory page or bad block monitoring and retirement algorithms, systems and methods for random access memory (RAM). Reliability issues or errors can be detected for multiple memory pages using one or more retirement criterion. In some embodiments, when reliability errors are detected, it may be desired to remove such pages from operation before they create a more serious problem, such as a computer crash. Thus, bad block retirement and replacement mechanisms are described herein.
