Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a data receiving logic to receive a quality data that identifies a memory quality of one or more allocatable subsets of a memory, where the quality data stores information concerning one or more of, a discrete quality ranking for one or more of the allocatable subsets of memory, a relative quality ranking for one or more of the allocatable subsets of memory, and a record of memory errors experienced by one or more of the allocatable subsets of memory, where the discrete quality ranking and the relative quality ranking rate memory health as measured by a record of memory errors; and an allocation logic to selectively allocate a subset of memory from the memory to an application based, at least in part, on the memory quality, where the allocation logic is to selectively allocate memory that is least likely to fail to a critical application and where the allocation logic is to selectively allocate memory that is more likely to fail to a less critical application.
