Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a data processing system, a selection is made, based at least on an access type of a memory access request, between at least a first timing and a second timing of data transmission with respect to completion of error detection processing on a target memory block of the memory access request. In response to receipt of the memory access request and selection of the first timing, data from the target memory block is transmitted to a requestor prior to completion of error detection processing on the target memory block. In response to receipt of the memory access request and selection of the second timing, data from the target memory block is transmitted to the requestor after and in response to completion of error detection processing on the target memory block.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A memory subsystem of a data processing system, comprising: an error detection circuit; and control logic coupled to system memory, wherein the control logic receives a memory access request and selects, based at least on an access type specified by the memory access request, between at least a first timing and a second timing of data transmission with respect to completion of error detection processing by the error detection circuit on a target memory blo…
