Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
assigning, via cycle tracking circuitry, a first memory block with a first plurality of memory addresses corresponding to a first plurality of memory cells of a memory device, wherein the first memory block is associated with a first cycle count register configured to track a first cycle count value representative of a first number of past accesses of the first plurality of memory cells; and
assigning, via the cycle tracking circuitry, a second memory block with a second plurality of memory addresses corresponding to a second plurality of memory cells of the memory device, wherein the second memory block is associated with a second cycle count register configured to track a second cycle count value representative of a second number of past accesses of the second plurality of memory cells; and
in response to a request to access a memory cell of the first plurality of memory cells, retrieving the first cycle count value from first cycle count register.
