Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: circuitry to perform at least one of the following subparagraphs (a) and (b): the data codeword including a data word, a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) word, and a parity word; the circuitry being to determine whether a portion of the CRC word indicates that only a single processor has accessed the data word; the data word, the CRC word, and the parity word being accessible in respective distinct memory device sets, each of the sets comprising one or more respective memory devices; and if the circuitry detects, based at least in part upon the data word and the CRC word, a CRC error, and the at least one error comprises fewer than a first predetermined number of errors, the circuitry determines in which of the one or more respective memory devices in the memory device sets the at least one error resides and corrects at least one error.
