Zusammenfassung: | An error correction system and method operable to identify and correct a memory module disposed within a computer memory system. In one embodiment, the memory system comprises a plurality of memory modules organized as a number of error correction code (ECC) domains, wherein each ECC domain includes a set of memory modules, each memory module comprising a plurality of memory devices. A module error correction engine is operable in association with a memory controller operably coupled to the plurality of memory modules, the module error correction engine operating to identify which one of the memory modules of a particular ECC domain is defective and thereby recover the defective memory module's data based on a redundant memory module associated with the particular ECC domain. |
