Summary:Use of hybrid error correcting code (ECC) techniques. A memory access request having an associated address is received. A memory controller determines whether the address corresponds to a first region of a memory for which ECC techniques are applied or a second region of the memory for which ECC techniques are not applied. The memory access is processed utilizing ECC techniques if the address corresponds to the first region of the memory, a transaction indicator and an execution unit indicator, and processed without utilizing the ECC techniques if the address corresponds to the second region of the memory.
