Abstract:
1. A method of initializing a computer memory that receives data from a plurality of redrive buffers, comprising the actions of: a. storing in selected redrive buffers of the plurality of redrive buffers a predetermined data pattern of a selected set of data patterns, wherein each of the selected set of data patterns includes a first initialization data pattern and an error correcting code pattern that is a product of a logical function that operates on the first initialization data pattern and an address in the computer memory, the selected set of data patterns including each possible value of error correcting code pattern; b. when sending a first initialization data pattern to a selected address, selecting a redrive buffer of the plurality of redrive buffers that has stored therein an error correcting code pattern that corresponds to the selected address; and c. instructing the selected redrive buffer to write to the selected address the first initialization data pattern and the error correcting code pattern that corresponds to the selected address.
