SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IN-MEMORY COMPUTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240086292 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IN-MEMORY COMPUTATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for computing tasks efficiently using a combination of memory circuits and extra-memory processing circuits. The method involves calculating an advantage score for a computing task, determining whether to execute the task using the extra-memory processing circuits or the function in memory circuits, and compiling instructions and formatting data accordingly.

  • Advantage score calculation:
 - Measure of efficiency for executing a computing task
 - Compares capabilities of memory circuits and extra-memory processing circuits
  • Task execution decision:
 - If advantage score is below a threshold, use extra-memory processing circuits
 - If advantage score meets or exceeds the threshold, compile instructions and format data for function in memory circuits
  • Function in memory circuit execution:
 - Compile instructions for execution
 - Format data for processing
 - Execute the computing task using function in memory circuits

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for computing. in some embodiments, the method includes: calculating an advantage score of a first computing task, the advantage score being a measure of an extent to which a plurality of function in memory circuits is capable of executing the first computing task more efficiently by than one or more extra-memory processing circuits, the first computing task including instructions and data; in response to determining that the advantage score of the first computing task is less than a first threshold, executing the first computing task by the one or more extra-memory processing circuits; and in response to determining that the first computing task is at least equal to the first threshold: compiling the instructions for execution by the function in memory circuits; formatting the data for the function in memory circuits; and executing the first computing task, by the function in memory circuits.
