1. A method, comprising:
receiving codewords from a memory array;
generating quality metrics corresponding to decoding the codewords using an error correction code (ECC) decoder; and
streaming the quality metrics from the ECC decoder to a memory manager via a quality metrics buffer circuit, wherein streaming the quality metrics includes streaming the quality metrics from the quality metrics buffer circuit to the memory manager in real time.
