Implementing enhanced hardware assisted DRAM repair using a data register for DRAM repair selectively provided in a DRAM module

摘要

A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing hardware assisted Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) repair in a computer system that supports ECC. A data register providing DRAM repair is selectively provided in one of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), a memory controller, or a memory buffer coupled between the DRAM and the memory controller. The data register is configured to map to any address. Responsive to the configured address being detected, the reads to or the writes from the configured address are routed to the data register.
