DRAM memory calculation
Computing in/near memory

With in-memory calculation, memory and calculation are performed in the same DRAM memory.

The Ambit project is highly representative of this approach. It involves slight modifications to the internal structure of a DRAM to implement elementary logic functions such as AND, OR and NOT. Given the internal organization of DRAMs, these operations involve vectors of a significant number of bits. To illustrate the principles involved, we have taken the key elements...
