Abstrakt: Abstract The Data-Intensive Architecture (DIVA) system employs Processing-In-Memory (PIM) chips as smart-memory coprocessors. This architecture exploits inherent memory bandwidth both on chip and across the system to target several classes of bandwidth-limited applications, including multimedia applications and pointer-based and sparse-matrix computations. The DIVA project has built a prototype development system using PIM chips in place of standard DRAMs to demonstrate these concepts. We have recently ported several demonstration kernels to this platform and have exhibited a speedup of 35X on a matrix transpose operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
