发明名称 CACHE LINE LOCK FOR PROVIDING DYNAMIC SPARING
摘要 A system that includes a memory, a cache, a purge mechanism, and a memory interface mechanism. The memory includes a failing memory element at a failing memory location. The cache is configured for storing corrected contents of the failing memory element in a locked state, with the corrected contents stored in a first cache line. The purge mechanism is configured for selecting and removing cache lines that are not in the locked state from the cache to make room for new cache allocations. The memory interface mechanism is configured for receiving a request to access the failing memory location, determining that corrected contents of the failing memory location are stored in first cache line in the cache, and accessing the first cache line in the cache.
