Abstract
A phase change memory may be utilized in place of more conventional, higher volume memories such as static random access memory, flash memory, or dynamic random access memory. To account for the fact that the phase change memory is not yet a high volume technology, an error correcting code may be incorporated. The error correcting code may be utilized in ways which do not severely negatively impact read access times, in some embodiments.
