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.

Abstract: A Near Memory Processing (NMP) module including: a plurality of memory units: an Input/Output (I/O) interface configured to receive commands from a host system, wherein the host system includes a host memory controller configured to access the plurality of memory units: a decoder configured to decode the commands and generate a trigger; and an NMP memory controller configured to: receive the trigger from the decoder; and generate a signal in response to the trigger to synchronize the NMP module with the host system.

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: Embodiments herein provide a Non-Volatile Dual In-Line Memory Module (NVDIMM) device assisted operations management method. The method includes on sending, by the host, a read command to the NVDIMM device receiving, by the host, an URGENT signal upon which it issues a SEND Command and receives a message packet form the NVDIMM device, wherein the message packet comprises information about a time required by the NVDIMM device to read the particular data and an information about operations at the NVDIMM device. Further, the method includes performing, by the host, configuration of the host in a power down mode based on the time required by the NVDIMM device to read the particular data and an information about operations at the NVDIMM device, or performing scheduling operations based on time required by the NVDIMM device to read the particular data and the information about operations at the NVDIMM device.

Abstract: A method of accessing a dual line solid-state drive (SSD) device through a network interface and a PCIe EP simultaneously. The method includes: (1) establishing, by the dual line SSD device, a connection with a remote server through the network interface, (2) establishing, by the remote server, an administrative queue with the dual line SSD device, (3) establishing, by the remote server, an input/output queue with the dual line SSD device by posting a command in the administrative queue over the network interface to initiate transfer of data, (4) establishing, by the dual line SSD device, a connection with a local server over the PCIe EP, (5) establishing, by the local server, the administrative queue over the PCIe EP, and (6) establishing, by the local server, the input/output queue by posting the command in the administrative queue over the PCIe EP to initiate transfer of the data.
