Abstract
Memory is serviced. In response to an input indicating a serious condition, a service is invoked that is unaffected by the serious condition. By the service, it is determined whether other instructions are available to be executed that are not being affected by the serious condition. By the other instructions, data is copied from a write cache to a nonvolatile memory before the data is lost from the write cache.
