  • Israeli researchers develop software enabling in-memory processing, bypassing CPU [07 Nov 2024]

    Israeli researchers have developed software that enables computers to process data directly in memory, bypassing the need for the central processing unit (CPU), according to a statement from the Israel Institute of Technology. This innovation addresses the energy- and time-intensive data transfers between memory and the CPU, which have increasingly become bottlenecks in modern computing. By performing some computations in memory, this approach reduces dependence on the CPU, leading to significant time and energy savings. The researchers aim to tackle the “memory wall” problem, where increases in processor speeds and memory capacity outpace data transfer rates.
