MEMORY LOOKUP COMPUTING MECHANISMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18375874 titled 'MEMORY LOOKUP COMPUTING MECHANISMS
Simplified Explanation
According to some example embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for a memory lookup mechanism in a high-bandwidth memory system includes:
- Using a memory die to conduct a multiplication operation using a lookup table (LUT) methodology by accessing a LUT, which includes floating point operation results, stored on the memory die.
- Sending, by the memory die, a result of the multiplication operation to a logic die including a processor and a buffer.
- Conducting, by the logic die, a matrix multiplication operation using computation units.
Potential Applications:
- High-bandwidth memory systems: This technology can be applied in high-bandwidth memory systems to improve memory lookup mechanisms and enhance overall performance.
- Data processing: The matrix multiplication operation conducted by the logic die can be utilized in various data processing applications, such as machine learning, image processing, and scientific simulations.
Problems Solved:
- Memory lookup efficiency: The use of a lookup table methodology and computation units in the memory and logic dies respectively improves the efficiency of memory lookup operations.
- Performance bottleneck: By conducting the multiplication operation on the memory die and sending the result to the logic die, the technology reduces the burden on the processor and buffer, preventing performance bottlenecks.
Benefits:
- Improved memory lookup performance: The use of a lookup table methodology and computation units allows for faster and more efficient memory lookup operations.
- Enhanced overall system performance: By offloading the multiplication operation to the memory die, the technology reduces the workload on the processor and buffer, leading to improved system performance.
- Increased memory bandwidth: The high-bandwidth memory system, combined with the efficient memory lookup mechanism, enables faster data access and processing, resulting in increased memory bandwidth.
