ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of partitioning a memory, comprising dividing the memory into a first plurality of sub-zones, allocating a plurality of spare blocks in each of the first plurality of sub-zones, resizing the first plurality of sub-zones to a second plurality of sub-zones different from the first plurality, and reallocating the plurality of spare blocks among the second plurality of sub-zones. A circuit for an improved memory controller is described also.
