Abstract

This paper is a summary of a proposal submitted to the NSF 100 Tera Flops Point Design Study. Its main thesis is that the use of Processing-In-Memory (PIM) technology can provide an extremely dense and highly efficient base on which such computing systems can be constructed the paper describes a strawman organization of one potential PIM chip, along with how multiple such chips might be organized into a real system, what the software supporting such a system might look like, and several applications which we will be attempting to place onto such a system.
