Abstract
An approach is provided for processing near-memory processing commands, e.g., PIM commands, using PIM register definition data that defines multiple combinations of source and/or destination registers to be used to process PIM commands. A particular combination of source and/or destination registers to be used to process a PIM command is specified by the PIM command or determined by a near-memory processing element processing the PIM command. According to another implementation, the PIM register definition data specifies an initial combination of source and/or destination registers and one or more update functions for each PIM command. A near-memory processing element processes a PIM command using the initial combination of source and/or destination registers and uses the one or more update functions to update the combination of source and/or destination registers to be used the next time the PIM command is processed.
