The project aims to develop and commercialize a memristive memory processing unit (mMPU) using phase change memory to enhance computer performance and energy efficiency for various applications.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Separation of processing and memory is the root cause of the main performance and energy bottlenecks in modern computers. In the PI's ERC Stg, we proposed to combine data processing and storage in the same cells, to develop a novel unit called the 'memristive memory processing unit' (mMPU). This unit was based on resistive RAM (RRAM), which is still not commercial in large capacity.
Alternative Memory Technology
A different memory technology, phase change memory (PCM), is commercially available in large capacity (for example, Intel's Optane has 1.5 TB memory) and can serve as an appropriate technology to form an mMPU with short time-to-market.
Project Objectives
In this PoC, we aim to experimentally demonstrate a working mMPU based on commercially-available PCM. This mMPU will enable fast and energy-efficient computers that are cheaper than existing computers.
Impact on Applications
This will impact different applications such as:
- Artificial intelligence
- Databases
- Genomics
The mMPU-based computers will allow faster and cheaper execution of the aforementioned applications.
Development and Commercialization
In this proposal, we target the required technical and business steps needed to develop such an mMPU and to commercialize it.
