Abstract:Bulk-bitwise processing-in-memory (PIM), where large bitwise operations are performed in parallel by the memory array itself, is an emerging form of computation with the potential to mitigate the memory wall problem. This paper examines the capabilities of bulk-bitwise PIM by constructing PIMDB, a fully-digital system based on memristive stateful logic, utilizing and focusing on in-memory bulk-bitwise operations, designed to accelerate a real-life workload: analytical processing of relational databases. We int… Show more
