Israeli researchers have developed software that enables computers to process data directly in memory.
This software has bypassed the need for the central processing unit (CPU) for processing data directly in memory.
This innovation resolves the issue of energy- and time-intensive data transfers between memory and the CPU, which is the main constraints in modern computing.
This approach will reduce dependence on the CPU, which will lead to significant time and energy savings.
The researcher’s aim is to tackle the “memory wall” problem. It will increase processor speeds and memory capacity outpace data transfer rates.
The researchers have developed a platform called PyPIM to support in-memory computing.
It is a combination of the Python programming language with digital processing-in-memory (PIM) technology.
It allows developers to write software for PIM computers using familiar programming languages like Python.
