Abstract
A processor-memory system, a stacked-wafer processor-memory system, and a method of fabricating a processor-memory system are disclosed. In an embodiment, the invention provides a processor-memory system comprising a memory area, a multitude of specialized processors, and a management processor. The specialized processors are embedded in the memory area, and each of the specialized processors is configured for performing a specified set of operations using an associated memory domain in the memory area. The management processor is provided to control operations of an associated set of the specialized processors. In one embodiment, each of the specialized processors controls a respective one associated memory domain in the memory area. In an embodiment, the processor-memory system further comprises a specialized processor wafer. The specialized processor wafer includes the memory area, and the multitude of specialized processors are embedded in the specialized processor wafer.
