Abstract
Provisioning portions of a memory subsystem of a computer system that has at least a first dimension and a second dimension, such that those portions are not used during normal operation. The apparatus includes a memory interface circuit having provisioning circuits performing different provisioning operations. The memory interface circuit is configured to receive a physical memory address, and output, based on provisioning information indicating a first provisioning operation, a first set of selection signals that are usable to access some, but not all, elements in the first dimension. The first provisioning operation may include an operation of the form ((y mod (C−1))+z) mod C, where C is a total number of elements in the first dimension, y is a relevant portion of the physical memory address, and z is an offset value indicating which elements in the first dimension are to be unused.
