Abstract

PIM Lite is a processor-in-memory prototype implemented in a 0.18 micron logic process. PIM Lite provides a complete working demonstration of a minimal-state, lightweight multithreaded processor with low-overhead thread swapping. Minimizing processor state by keeping thread state in memory and using a regular, tiled and memory-centric design greatly simplified VLSI development and testing.
