Abstract:

The surging AI workloads demand a memory fabric that delivers massive bandwidth, ultra-low power, and truly effective performance. Emerging bandwidth-centric solutions — wide-bandwidth memory, near-memory computing, and in-memory computing — aim to meet these challenges. Effective AI systems require co-designing memory and compute architectures to suit specific workloads. This lecture will explore the trends, compare the solutions, and underscore the need for tailored memory approaches.
