Proteus: Achieving High-Performance Processing-Using-DRAM with Dynamic Bit-Precision, Adaptive Data Representation, and Flexible Arithmetic
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Processing-using-DRAM (PUD) is a paradigm where the analog operational properties of DRAM are used to perform bulk logic operations.While PUD promises high throughput at low energy and area cost, we uncover three limitations of existing PUD approaches that lead to significant inefficiencies: (i) static data representation, i.e., two's complement with fixed bit-precision, leading to unnecessary computation over useless (i.e., inconsequential) data; (ii) support for only throughput-oriented execution, where the high latency of
