A Holistic Approach to Processing in Memory: From Device to System

ABSTRACT

There has been a dramatic increase in data-centric workloads such as machine learning, medical analytics, and personalized medicine. This talk will highlight processing in memory and fabric-attached memories that enhance the efficiency of these critical memory-centric workloads. The presentation will discuss efforts to incorporate computing in or near SRAM caches, DRAM memories, and especially advances in ferroelectric non-volatile memory architectures. The talk will also focus on interactions across different layers of the design stack.
