Abstract
A multi-processor computer system includes a compact in-memory computer comprising memory elements and a processor external to the compact in-memory computer connected to the compact in-memory computer. The compact in-memory computer can comprise memory components. Each memory component can comprise a compute engine and a storage element for storing data. The compute engine can be operable to read and process data stored only in the storage element of the memory component. The processor external can be operable to write data to each storage element in the compact in-memory computer and the storage elements of the compact in-memory computer can be mapped into the memory space of the processor.
Claims36
A multi-processor computer system, comprising:
- an in-memory computer comprising memory components, each memory component comprising a compute engine and a storage element for storing data, the compute engine operable to read, write, and process data stored in the storage element of the memory component;
- and
- a processor external to the in-memory computer connected to the in-memory computer, wherein each storage element is mapped into a memory space of the processor;
- and is accessible at memory addresses of the processor through a bit line,
- wherein each memory component is connected to the bit line through a memory select switch, and in that the MEMSEL switch can isolate or connect the bit line of each memory component from or to external control or data circuits.
