Foil 51 Conclusion

From Processing-In-Memory (PIM) Architectures for Very High Performance MPP Computing PAWS 96 Mandalay Beach -- April 21-26 1996. by Peter Kogge Notre Dame


PIM: Potential Breakthrough
  • Natural Evolution of Technology
  • Huge complexity reductions
  • Highly scalable
BUT: "Breaking the Rules & Changing the Game"
  • Need to revisit ALL OUR ASSUMPTIONS
To make PIM mainstream:
  • Simple integrated Logic/Memory CAD tools
  • Strong "Proof of Concept" Demos
  • "Really Massive" Parallel Development Tools
  • Reoptimization of everything: space & power
