Abstract
A device, system, and method are disclosed for efficiently enabling Processing-in-Memory (PIM) or processing-near-memory (PNM) compression on mobile systems on a chip (SoC). In an embodiment, a memory device includes a cryptographic engine (CE), wherein the memory device is configured to receive encrypted data via a memory input/output (IO) bus, and the CE is configured to decrypt the encrypted data to obtain decrypted data. The memory device can further comprise a PIM or PNM device configured to process the decrypted data.
Claims20
A memory device comprising a cryptographic engine (CE),
- wherein the memory device is configured to receive encrypted data via a memory input/output (IO) bus, and
- wherein the CE is configured to decrypt the encrypted data to obtain decrypted data.
A method for processing-in-memory (PIM) or processing-near-memory (PNM) compression, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a memory device including a cryptographic engine (CE) and a PIM or PNM device, encrypted data via a memory input/output (IO) bus;
- decrypting, by the CE, the encrypted data to obtain decrypted data;
- and
- processing, by the PIM or PNM device, the decrypted data.
