Abstract: A method for operating a Near Memory Processing (NMP) Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) for DIMM-to-DIMM communication is provided. The NMP DIMM includes one or more ports for communicative connection to other NMP DIMMs. The method includes parsing, by one NMP DIMM, a NMP command received from a processor of a host platform, identifying data dependencies on one or more other NMP DIMMs based on the parsing, establishing communication with the one or more other NMP DIMMs through one or more ports of the one NMP DIMM, receiving data from the one or more other NMP DIMMs through one or more ports of the one NMP DIMM, processing the NMP command using the data received from one of the one or more other NMP DIMMs and data present in the one NMP DIMM, and sending a NMP command completion notification to the processor of the host platform.

Abstract: A Near Memory Processing (NMP) Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) is provided that includes random access memory (RAM), a Near-Memory-Processing (NMP) circuit and a first control port. The NMP circuit is for receiving a command from a host system, determining an operation to be performed on the RAM in response to the command, and a location of data within the RAM with respect to the determined operation. The first control port interacts with a second control port of the host system to enable the NMP circuit to exchange control information with the host system in response to the received command.
