Abstract

A system, method and apparatus to optimize repair in a memory module based on hardware errors identified by microprocessors and a configurable error handling policy. For example, the error handling policy can have a configuration file identifying an amount of repair resources available in the memory module as manufactured. Repair status data can be stored in the memory module to determine repair resources currently available for repair. Further, the error handling policy can be configured with a list of high risk memory addresses prioritized for repair. The list can be used to schedule proactive repair in response to memory errors that would otherwise not be repaired during a typical restarting of the computer system having the memory module.
