Abstract
A Processing-In-Memory (PIM) computing system and a PIM computation offloading method thereof perform PIM computation offloading using a DMA engine. The DMA engine is configured to process a transaction by respectively performing descriptor requests and PIM requests for one or more descriptors stored in a memory, in response to a memory request of a CPU. The memory includes a PIM unit and a memory array, which memory array may be a DRAM. In response to the PIM requests, the PIM unit performs PIM operations using information included in data provided to the DMA engine in response to the descriptor requests.
