Summary:Memory requests are protected by encoding memory requests to include error correction codes. A subset of bits in a memory request are compared to a pre-defined pattern to determine whether the subset of bits matches a pre-defined pattern, where a match indicates that a compression can be applied to the memory request. The error correction code is generated for the memory request and the memory request is encoded to remove the subset of bits, add the error correction code, and add at least one metadata bit to the memory request to generate a protected version of the memory request, where the at least one metadata bit identifies whether the compression was applied to the memory request.
