Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods can include a multi-stage cache for providing high reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The multi-stage cache memory comprises a shadow DRAM, which is provided on a volatile main memory module, coupled to a memory controller cache, which is provided on a memory controller. During a first write operation, the memory controller writes data with a strong error correcting code (ECC) from the memory controller cache to the shadow DRAM without writing a RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) parity data. During a second write operation, the memory controller writes the data with the strong ECC and writes the RAID parity data from the shadow DRAM to a memory device provided on the volatile main memory module.
