Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for processing instructions using a processing-in-memory (PIM). A PIM management apparatus includes: a PIM directory comprising a reader-writer lock regarding a memory address that an instruction accesses; and a locality tracer configured to figure out locality regarding the memory address that the instruction accesses and determine whether or not an object that executes the instruction is a PIM.
