Abstract: A method of processing in-memory commands in a high-bandwidth memory (HBM) system includes sending a function-in-HBM instruction to the HBM by a HBM memory controller of a GPU. A logic component of the HBM receives the FIM instruction and coordinates the instructions execution using the controller, an ALU, and a SRAM located on the logic component.

Abstract: A memory module includes a memory array, an interface and a controller. The memory array includes an array of memory cells and is configured as a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). The DIMM includes a plurality of connections that have been repurposed from a standard DIMM pin out configuration to interface operational status of the memory device to a host device. The interface is coupled to the memory array and the plurality of connections of the DIMM to interface the memory array to the host device. The controller is coupled to the memory array and the interface and controls at least one of a refresh operation of the memory array, control an error-correction operation of the memory array, control a memory scrubbing operation of the memory array, and control a wear-level control operation of the array, and the controller to interface with the host device.

Abstract: A method of memory deduplication includes identifying hash tables each corresponding to a hash function, and each including physical buckets, each physical bucket including ways and being configured to store data, identifying virtual buckets each including some physical buckets, and each sharing a physical bucket with another virtual bucket, identifying each of the physical buckets having data stored thereon as being assigned to a single virtual bucket, hashing a data line according to a hash function to produce a hash value, determining whether a corresponding virtual bucket has available space for a block of data according to the hash value, sequentially moving data from the corresponding virtual bucket to an adjacent virtual bucket when the corresponding virtual bucket does not have available space until the corresponding virtual bucket has space for the block of data, and storing the block of data in the corresponding virtual bucket.
