Abstract
Managing row hammering in a DRAM device may include maintaining per-row activation command counts. A next aggressor row may be determined based on the counts. A victim queue may be maintained. A refresh operation may be directed to a row indicated by the victim queue when conditions include that the victim queue is not empty when the refresh command is received. The current aggressor row may be updated with the next aggressor row when conditions include that the victim queue is empty when the refresh command is received. Following updating the current aggressor row, the count of the next aggressor row may be updated. A victim row corresponding to the current aggressor row may be added to the victim queue if the victim queue is empty when the refresh command is received.
