Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing in-memory accelerators to perform data conversion operations are disclosed. A system includes one or more main processors coupled to one or more memory modules. Each memory module includes one or more memory devices coupled to a processing in memory (PIM) device. The main processors are configured to generate an executable for a PIM device to accelerate data conversion tasks of data stored in the local memory devices. In one embodiment, the system detects a read request for data stored in a given memory module. In order to process the read request, the system determines that a conversion from a first format to a second format is required. In response to detecting the read request, the given memory module's PIM device performs the conversion of the data from the first format to the second format and then provides the data to a consumer application.
