We attended MICRO 2023 in Toronto, Oct 28-Nov 1, and had several contributions: we gave another successful Real-World PIM tutorial, presented several papers, posters and a lightning talk, and also received a few awards. Thanks to all the organizers and participants for lively discussions and interactions; we enjoyed our time in Toronto!
Here’s an overview of our MICRO 2023 contributions:
[1]
Real-World PIM tutorial, Sunday, Oct 29
Organizers: Juan Gómez Luna, Onur Mutlu, Ataberk Olgun
We had invited talks from:
Abu Sebastian, IBM Research, Zurich, “PUM based on memristive devices: The IBM HERMES Project Chip”
Youngsok Kim, Yonsei University, “PID-Join: A Fast In-Memory Join Algorithm for Commodity PIM-Enabled DIMMs”
+ Tutorial lectures and hands-on PIM session with Juan Gómez Luna, Onur Mutlu, Ataberk Olgun, Geraldo F. Oliveira covering:
– Introduction: PIM as a paradigm to overcome the data movement bottleneck.
– PIM taxonomy: PNM (processing near memory) and PUM (processing using memory).
– General-purpose PNM: UPMEM PIM.
– PNM for neural networks: Samsung HBM-PIM, SK Hynix AiM.
– PNM for recommender systems: Samsung AxDIMM, Alibaba PNM.
– PUM prototypes: PiDRAM, SRAM-based PUM, Flash-based PUM.
– DAMOV workload characterization methodology
– Other approaches: Neuroblade, Mythic.
– Adoption issues: How to enable PIM?
