1. A method for providing notification of a predictable memory failure, the method comprising:
- obtaining information regarding at least one condition associated with a memory;
calculating a memory failure probability as a function of the obtained information;
calculating a failure probability threshold; and
generating a signal when the memory failure probability exceeds the failure probability threshold, the signal being indicative of a predicted future memory failure.

Abstract
A method for providing notification of a predictable memory failure includes the steps of: obtaining information regarding at least one condition associated with a memory; calculating a memory failure probability as a function of the obtained information; calculating a failure probability threshold; and generating a signal when the memory failure probability exceeds the failure probability threshold, the signal being indicative of a predicted future memory failure.
