Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a prognostic agent embodied in a program of executable instructions and configured to, when executed, maintain a prognostic data structure setting forth a plurality of parameters regarding a non-volatile memory of the information handling system, and a memory controller configured. The memory controller may be configured to calculate a severity index based on the parameters set forth in the prognostic data structure, the severity index indicative of a likelihood of successfully completing a save operation to the non-volatile memory from a volatile memory in response to a power event of the information handling system and based on the severity index, determine whether or not to perform a save operating in response to a power event of the information handling system.
