Samsung SYCL-PIM Processing in Memory Technology at Hot Chips 2023
At Hot Chips 2023 (35) Samsung is talking about its processing-in-memory (PIM) again with new research and a new twist. We have covered this previously, for example in our Hot Chips 33 Samsung HBM2-PIM and Aquabolt-XL. Now, Samsung is showing this in the context of AI. PIM has been made programmable using SYCL through the SYCL-PIM implementation work.

User-driven Kernel Fusion
The overhead linked to offloading work to an accelerator can be problematic, especially for short-running device kernels. Fusing multiple smaller kernels into one can be a solution to this problem, but manual implementation of fused kernels is tedious work, as it needs to be repeated for each potential combination of kernels. Codeplay have therefore developed an extension for the SYCL...
