Not in Name Alone: A Memristive Memory Processing Unit for Real In-Memory Processing.

Data movement between processing and memory is the root cause of the limited performance and energy efficiency in modern von Neumann systems. To overcome the data-movement bottleneck, we present the memristive Memory Processing Unit (mMPU)-a real processing-in-memory system in which the computation is done directly in the memory cells, thus eliminating the necessity for data transfer. Furthermore,...
