Has anyone heard of this idea? It apparently delegates some
lower-level computing functions directly to the memory itself, to get
a speedup from doing everything in the CPU. It seems to be an
outgrowth of the “memristor” component that was discovered/invented by
some researchers at HP a few decades ago.
Denelcore: 1980:: had atomic memory ops in memory; so at least 40 YO.
They didn’t have memristors back then, though. This paper uses memristors
in place of traditional DRAM/SRAM memory cells. The resulting read/write
networks look remarkably like old-style magnetic-core memories, except
that these cells can act as logic gates to perform operations in parallel.
