Abstract
A memory module within a computing system includes a management memory. The management memory provides permanent storage for management information. For example, an error log is stored within the management memory. The error log indicates a time stamp for errors which occur in operation of the memory module. The error log consists of, for example, two lists. A first list indicates a time stamp for each (soft) correctable error which occurs in operation of the memory module. A second list indicates a time stamp for each (hard) non-correctable error which occurs in operation of the memory module.
