SORTING NON-VOLATILE MEMORIES
First Claim
1. A method, executed by one or more processors, for sorting non-volatile random access memories (NVRAMS), the method comprising:
- testing a failure metric for each of a plurality of NVRAMS over a plurality of testing sessions to capture failure metric data that corresponds to the plurality of NVRAMS;
determining a trend in the failure metric as a function of testing cycles for each of the plurality of NVRAMS from the failure metric data; and
separating the plurality of NVRAMS into groups based on the trend in the failure metric as a function of testing cycles.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for sorting non-volatile random access memories (NVRAMS) includes testing a failure metric for each of a plurality of NVRAMS over a plurality of testing sessions to capture failure metric data that corresponds to the plurality of NVRAMS. The method also includes determining a trend in the failure metric as a function of testing cycles for each of the plurality of NVRAMS from the failure metric data, and separating the plurality of NVRAMS into groups based on the trend in the failure metric as a function of testing cycles. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed herein.
