An Overview of In-memory Processing with Emerging Non-volatile Memory for Data-intensive Applications
The conventional von Neumann architecture has been revealed as a major
performance and energy bottleneck for rising data-intensive applications. %,
due to the intensive data movements. The decade-old idea of leveraging
in-memory processing to eliminate substantial data movements has returned and
led extensive research activities. The effectiveness of in-memory processing
heavily relies on memory scalability, which cannot be satisfied by traditional
memory technologies. Emerging non-volatile memories (eNVMs) that pose appealing
qualities such as excellent scaling and low energy consumption, on the other
hand, have been heavily investigated and explored for realizing in-memory
processing architecture. In this paper, we summarize the recent research
progress in eNVM-based in-memory processing from various aspects, including the
adopted memory technologies, locations of the in-memory processing in the
system, supported arithmetics, as well as applied applications
