One big reason why the PIM-powered supercomputer has so much horsepower is that each PIM chip uses high-bandwidth memory , which the industry is increasingly turning to for handling high-performance computing and AI workloads.
Samsung hopes to spur adoption of its PIM chips in the industry by creating software that will allow organizations to use the tech in an integrated software environment. To do this, it's relying on, a royalty-free, cross-architecture programming abstraction layer that happens to underpin Intel's implementation of C++ for its oneAPI parallel programming model.
The company has been hyping up PIM for nearly three years now, and one other way it plans to take the tech to market is through what it has called theWe'll know if Samsung ends up making any inroads if PIM starts appearing in new supercomputers set up by research labs, academic institutions, and other organizations over the next few years. ®
