Abstract
Managing faulty memory pages in a computing system, including: tracking, by a page management module, a number of errors associated with a memory page; determining, by the page management module, whether the number of errors associated with the memory page exceeds a predetermined threshold; responsive to determining that the number of errors associated with the memory page exceeds the predetermined threshold, attempting, by the page management module, to retire the memory page; determining, by the page management module, whether the memory page has been successfully retired; and responsive to determining that the memory page has not been successfully retired, generating, by the page management module, a predictive failure alert.
