Abstract
A processing system includes a processing unit and a memory device. The memory device includes a processing-in-memory (PIM) module that performs processing operations on behalf of the processing unit. An instruction set architecture (ISA) of the PIM module has fewer instructions than an ISA of the processing unit. Instructions received from the processing unit are translated such that processing resources of the PIM module are virtualized. As a result, the PIM module concurrently performs processing operations for multiple threads or applications of the processing unit.
