1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a memory having an address space; and a memory controller coupled to said memory for accessing said address space in response to received memory accesses, said memory controller further accessing a plurality of data elements in a first portion of said address space, and reliability data corresponding to said plurality of data elements in a second portion of said address space, wherein:
said address space comprises a plurality of banks having an order within said address space;said first portion of said address space comprises a plurality of groups of a predetermined number of data elements distributed among said plurality of banks in said order; andsaid second portion of said address space comprises a reliability data element for each corresponding data element of each of said plurality of groups, wherein reliability data elements for a group are located in a first bank following a second bank that includes a last data element of said group in said order.
