: These micro-ops are converted into DRAM commands, executing the logic directly where the data resides.

PIM is a computing paradigm where data processing occurs directly within the memory chips (like DRAM) rather than moving it back and forth to a central CPU or GPU. This eliminates the "memory wall"—the performance bottleneck caused by the slow and energy-intensive transfer of data between memory and processors. 2. The CENT Architecture

: Each CXL device in this architecture integrates 16 controllers, each managing two GDDR6-PIM channels. pim073.jpg

The identifier appears to be a specific figure or asset reference from technical literature regarding Processing-In-Memory (PIM) technologies, specifically within the context of the "CENT" architecture described in recent research papers like PIM Is All You Need .

: Utilizing CXL 3.0 allows the system to support up to 4,096 nodes, which is significantly more scalable than proprietary interconnects like NVIDIA's NVLink. : These micro-ops are converted into DRAM commands,

: By mapping entire transformer blocks to memory channels, the system can facilitate "Pipeline Parallel" processing, allowing LLM execution without relying on high-end GPUs. 4. Technical Workflow
