Patent abstract
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses to save dynamic random access memory (DRAM) self-refresh power. In some embodiments, the refresh frequency of a DRAM is reduced and errors are allowed to occur. In error check mode, the DRAM stores data and corresponding error check bits. The error check bits may be used to scrub the memory and fix the errors.
