    Abstract: An apparatus may include a heterogeneous computing environment that may be controlled, at least in part, by a task scheduler in which the heterogeneous computing environment may include a processing unit having fixed logical circuits configured to execute instructions; a reprogrammable processing unit having reprogrammable logical circuits configured to execute instructions that include instructions to control processing-in-memory functionality; and a stack of high-bandwidth memory dies in which each may be configured to store data and to provide processing-in-memory functionality controllable by the reprogrammable processing unit such that the reprogrammable processing unit is at least partially stacked with the high-bandwidth memory dies. The task scheduler may be configured to schedule computational tasks between the processing unit, and the reprogrammable processing unit.

    Abstract: A storage device and method of controlling a storage device are disclosed. The storage device includes a host, a logic die, and a high bandwidth memory stack including a memory die. A computation lookup table is stored on a memory array of the memory die. The host sends a command to perform an operation utilizing a kernel and a plurality of input feature maps, includes finding the product of a weight of the kernel and values of multiple input feature maps. The computation lookup table includes a row corresponding to a weight of the kernel, and a column corresponding to a value of the input feature maps. A result value stored at a position corresponding to a row and a column is the product of the weight corresponding to the row and the value corresponding to the column.

    Abstract: A high-bandwidth memory (HBM) system includes an HBM device and a logic circuit. The logic circuit receives a first command from the host device and converts the received first command to a processing-in-memory (PIM) command that is sent to the HBM device through the second interface. A time between when the first command is received from the host device and when the HBM system is ready to receive another command from the host device is deterministic. The logic circuit further receives a fourth command and a fifth command from the host device. The fifth command requests time-estimate information relating to a time between when the fifth command is received and when the HBM system is ready to receive another command from the host device. The time-estimate information includes a deterministic period of time and an estimated period of time for a non-deterministic period of time.
