Abstract
An example device includes a first memory that store a first set of data; a second memory that stores a second set of data that includes a stored error correcting code (ECC) value; and a controller coupled to the first memory and to the second memory. The controller operates to receive a transaction directed to the first set of data, and based on the transaction perform the following operations: retrieve the second set of data from the second memory; calculate a current ECC value based on the second set of data as retrieved from the second memory; compare the stored ECC value to the current ECC value to determine whether the second set of data includes an error; determine whether the error is correctable; and determine not to access the first memory to perform the transaction based on a determination that the second set of data includes the non-correctable error.
