Abstract
An apparatus that manages multi-process execution in a processing-in-memory (“PIM”) device includes a gatekeeper configured to: receive an identification of one or more registered PIM processes; receive, from a process, a memory request that includes a PIM command; if the requesting process is a registered PIM process and another registered PIM process is active on the PIM device, perform a context switch of PIM state between the registered PIM processes; and issue the PIM command of the requesting process to the PIM device.
