In-Memory And Near-Memory Compute

Steven Woo, Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the amount of power required to store data and to move it out of memory to where processing is done. This can include changes to memory, but it also can include rethinking compute architectures from the ground up to achieve up to 1 million times better performance in highly specialized systems.

Thanks for sharing guys.

What is Rambus doing in terms of creating new system architectures that address this imbalance?

That 2nJ is for DRAM, not a fair comparison. And with massively parallel computation this memory cost will be heavily amortized.
