At Hot Chips, Samsung showed processing-in-memory (PIM) technology with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) integrated into an accelerator.
The development is claimed to accelerate the move towards the convergence of memory and logic.
HBM-PIM incorporates the AI processing function to enhance high-speed data processing in supercomputers and AI applications.
HBM-PIM has since been tested in the Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ (Alveo) AI accelerator, where it delivered an almost 2.5X system performance gain as well as more than a 60% cut in energy consumption.
