VECTOR PROCESSING IN AN ACTIVE MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

Embodiments relate to vector processing in an active memory device. An aspect includes a method for vector processing in an active memory device that includes memory and a processing element. The method includes decoding, in the processing element, an instruction including a plurality of sub-instructions to execute in parallel. An iteration count to repeat execution of the sub-instructions in parallel is determined. Based on the iteration count, execution of the sub-instructions in parallel is repeated for multiple iterations by the processing element. Multiple locations in the memory are accessed in parallel based on the execution of the sub-instructions.
