ABSTRACT:
A remapping circuit is connected to a memory. A configuration register is connected to the memory. The configuration register includes performance information for memory blocks in the memory. Also, a system includes a processor, a memory management device is connected to the processor, a display is connected to the processor, a non-volatile memory including a memory blocks is connected to the memory management device, and a register is connected to the non-volatile memory. The memory management device to re-map the non-volatile memory based on information stored in the register.
