Comment on Processing in Memory: DRAM Is About to Do Math

Comments

So they built a very specific operation into the RAM. This RAM would only be useful for AI, otherwise the transistors are just wasted.

And if we fund a different set of operations actually work better for AI you can’t adjust to that either.

Seems extremely limited. But otherwise wouldn’t you just end up with something like a massive number of tiny microcontrollers each accessing a set of memory? The Transputer again.
