Abstract:

There is no shortage of scaling challenges facing the computing world: logic and memory scaling, dark silicon, thermal issues, bandwidth, throughput, energy proportionality, and many others. This talk will address these challenges, showing from whence we came and whither we are going. It will paint a picture of the increasing importance and influence of memory technologies and architectures on system performance metrics, discuss the underlying causes, and show the inevitable progression of the relationship between logic and memory. The talk will then turn to Micron's Automata Processing technology. The Automata Processor is a fundamentally new computing architecture that leverages the intrinsic parallelism of DRAM. This innovative, nondeterministic, finite Automata Processor tackles NP-hard problems that, until now, have been considered unsolvable—opening up new frontiers of computing. The revelation of the Automata Processor portends a future rich in devices that have memory technology at their core.
