Abstract
A method for managing a failed memory module, including: receiving a first request to access a first memory address; identifying a memory module identifier (ID) from an end bit segment of the first memory address in the first request; generating, based on the memory module ID matching the failed memory module, a first revised memory address from the first memory address; and sending the first request with the first revised memory address to a memory controller for interpretation.
