Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that allow for transparently recovering from an uncorrected multi-bit error of arbitrary length located at a memory address. Storing one or more parity pages, for a set of pages in system memory, such that a page in the set of pages may be reconstructed using one of the parity pages is disclosed. Storing an indication of one or more page's disk location such that the one or more pages may be reconstructed by refilling the page from disk is also disclosed.
