Abstract In one embodiment, a system includes a memory that includes a live section and a spares section. The live section may be mapped to the address space of the system, and may be accessed in response to memory operations. Once an entry in the live section has been detected as failed, an entry is in the spares section may be allocated to replace the failed entry. During subsequent accesses to the failed entry, the allocated entry may be used instead. In an embodiment, the failed entry may be coded with an indication of the allocated entry, to redirect to the allocated entry. In one implementation, for example, the failed entry may be coded with N copies of a pointer to the allocated entry, each copy protected by corresponding ECC.
