Abstract
An example apparatus includes a memory device comprising a plurality of banks of memory cells. A particular bank of memory cells among the plurality of banks includes a system processor resident on a particular bank of the plurality of banks.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory device comprising a system processor resident thereon;
- and
- a plurality of memory banks resident on the memory device, wherein at least one memory bank of the plurality of memory banks comprises a bank processor resident thereon;
- wherein the system processor is configured to orchestrate execution of processing-in-memory (PIM) instructions by the bank processor of the at least one memory bank without transferring data via an input/output (I/O) interface that couples the memory device to a host.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a host;
- a memory device coupled to the host and comprising:
- a system processor resident on the memory device;
- and
- a plurality of memory banks comprising respective bank processors;
- wherein the system processor is configured to orchestrate execution of processing-in-memory (PIM) instructions by the respective bank processors of the plurality of memory banks without transferring data via an input/output (I/O) interface that couples the memory device to the host.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a host;
- a memory device coupled to the host and comprising:
- a plurality of memory banks comprising respective bank processors;
- and
- a system processor resident on the memory device, wherein the system processor serves as a supervisory processing device to control operation of the respective bank processors in association with executing a program without transferring data via an input/output (I/O) interface that couples the memory device to the host.
