Abstract There has been a dramatic increase in data-centric workloads such as machine learning, medical analytics and personalized medicine. This talk will highlight processing in memory and fabric attached memories that enhance the efficiency of these critical memory-centric workloads. This talk will highlight efforts to incorporate computing in or near the SRAM caches, DRAM memories, and non-volatile memory architectures. The talk will focus on the interaction across the different layers of the design stack.
