Abstract

System and methods of selectively managing errors in memory modules. In an exemplary implementation, a method may include monitoring for persistent errors in the memory modules. The methods may also include mapping at least a portion of the memory modules to a spare memory cache only to obviate persistent errors. The method may also include initiating memory erasure on at least a portion of the memory modules only if insufficient cache lines are available in the spare memory cache.
