RISC V based programming model of a computational SRAM vector processing unit
Résumé
Computational SRAM (C-SRAM) is a new computing solution for Near-Memory Computing. It allows to perform operations inside or next to the memory without transferring data over the system bus, leading to significantly reducing energy consuption. Operations are realized on large vectors of data occupying the entire physical row of C-SRAM array, leading to high performance gains. This paper presents the C-SRAM solution as an integrated vector-processing unit to be used by a RISC-V processor as an energy-efficient and high performing co-processor. The proposed programming model of the C-SRAM is based on the system bus of a RISC-V processor.
