Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for optimizing the size of memory devices used for error correction code storage. An apparatus (such as a memory module) may include a number of memory devices to store data and a memory device to store error correction (ECC) bits. The memory devices to store data may have a density of N and the memory device to store ECC bits has a density of ½ N.
