Prepping for the end of Moores Law, freeing the CPU for actual computation
Shedding Light on Dark Bandwidth
“Reducing overall system data movement will likely net system designers far more over the next decade than any revolutionary technology changes,” Beard explains. “Enabling small amounts of computation in- or near-memory along with fixing the virtual memory system could enable future systems to recapture dark bandwidth. Doing all of this, while not breaking all extant software is a huge, but not insurmountable, challenge. It’s not just the memory technology or compute alone that should be the focus, it’s how the compute system as a whole uses it.”
