Abstract
A system to improve error control coding. An example system includes memory chips of at least two different kinds. The system also includes error control encoder circuitry to substantially encode data for storage in any memory rank. The system further includes error control decoder circuitry to substantially decode encoded data received from any memory rank. The error decoder circuitry is comprised of a slow decoder and a fast decoder.
