Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and/or system is described including a memory device including a memory range and a temporal data management unit (TDMU) coupled to the memory device to receive from an interface, the memory range and a temporal range corresponding to validity of data in the memory range, check the temporal range against a time and/or date value provided by a timer or clock to identify the data in the memory range as expired, and invalidate the data that is expired in the memory device. In some embodiments, the TDMU includes hardware logic that resides on a memory module with the memory device and is coupled to invalidate expired data when the memory module is decoupled from the interface. Other embodiments may be disclosed and claimed.
