Memory Protection Mechanisms

Interleave Memory The Principle

• The memory chip is asked
• Wait-step
• Wait-step
• Wait-step
• The memory chip answers
• 2nd memory chip is asked
• Wait-step
• Wait-step

• 1st memory chip is asked
• 2nd memory chip is asked
• 3rd memory chip is asked
• 4th memory chip is asked
• 1st memory chips answers
• 2nd memory chips answers
• 3rd memory chips answers
• 4th memory chips answers

While the standard memory controller is still
waiting for the answer of memory chip 2, our
interleaved-controller has already read 4 sets of
data!
10
Memory Protection MechanismECC / Memory
Scrubbing
ECCBits
DataBits
ECC memory controller

• With Error Correction Coding (ECC), redundant
  bits are added at write and tested at read. In
  case of a single bit failure, the content is
  corrected on its way to the CPU. With full ECC,
  the corrected data is also rewritten.

• With Memory Scrubbing, all memory cells are read
  out cyclically by a background process. In case
  of a single bit failure, this is corrected via
  ECC thus preventing accumulation of failures to
  multi bit errors.

11
Memory Protection Mechanism Chipkill

• In standard memory designs, the memory controller
  writes the bits in just one memory chip. If a bit
  fails, ECC corrects it, if a memory-chip fails,
  you loose your data!

• The Chipkill-memory-design has got an own
  Chipkill-processor on the main board (part of
  chipset!), just to calculate the
  bit-distribution the controller allocates bits
  on different memory chips. If a memory chip
  fails, you just lose one bit, which can be
  corrected via ECC!

12
Memory Protection Mechanism Hot-spare Memory

• Example PRIMERGY RX300
• Module 3 of bank 3 has exceeded the threshold for
  the number of single bit corrections
• In this case BIOS initiates the copy of the whole
  bank 3 to bank 1 during normal operation.
• On scheduled maintenance phases the defective
  module can be replaced.
• This is a high availability add -on to Memory
  Scrubbing, ECC and Chipkill functionalities.

RAID Functionality
15
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) for
secure hard disk data

• RAID level 0 (disk striping)
• Several disks are added to one big logical hard
  disk
• The OS only sees the big hard disk
• Performance optimisation without critical data
• RAID level 1 disk mirroring
• Mirroring of one hard disk
• If one disk fails, it is possible to replace it
  without loosing data
• Fast read (access on both disks)
• You need 2x the usable capacity
• Typical use mirroring of system disk

• RAID level 5 striping with parity
• Min. of 3 hard disks in RAID-5 array
• Part of each disk is used for parity information
  of the others
• In case of a dead device, no data will be lost
  all information from the defect drive is stored
  in the parity and data area of the other disks
• Lower down times with hot-spare disk within the
  RAID-5 array
• 33 less capacity in case of 3 HDDs(25 if 4
  HDDs are used and so on..)
• Typical usage data hard disks

16
RAID Functionality onchip and onboard
Extension

• Onchip RAID (HostRAID)
• Onboard SCSI controller with RAID functionality
  (level 0, 1, 10)
• For mirroring the internal hard disks over 1
  respectively 2 channels
• Based on Ultra160 or Ultra320 SCSI technology
• Identical management software as the onboard RAID
  extension (ZCR)

• Onboard RAID extension (ZCR)
• The Zero Channel RAID controller
• provides RAID functionality for the onboard SCSI
  controller or extends the RAID functionality of
  the onboard RAID controller
• It is a PCI card (low profile) providing RAID
  level 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50
• Supports 2-channel SCSI controller and the well
  known administration (Storage Manager)
• Uses the Embedded RAID Logic (EMRL) on the system
  board for communication with the SCSI/RAID-Chip
  and the corresponding SCSI channels

17
Server Management

  more functionality for
• Monitoring

32-Bit Where is the problem?

• With 32-Bit processors, operating systems and
  applications all references to memory locations
  handled by the application are limited to 32-bit.
• This limits the size of applicable memory
• An application can manage max. 4 Gigabyte for its
  data. The OS may further reduce this, e.g. to 2
  or 3 Gigabyte.
• As long as the amount of required data an
  application manages in memory is smaller, there
  is no problem.
• If the demand grows beyond this barrier, there is
  no easy way to cope with this. In the 32-bit
  environment this will make a substantial change,
  if not a reimplementation of the application is
  necessary.
• Often applications are prepared to offload data
  to disk to limit the size of data kept in memory.
  However this will lead to significant performance
  degradation.
• 64-Bit operation will require a re-compilation of
  the application, but will signifi-cantly improve
  performance to applications handling substantial
  amount of data in memory
