Abstract
A memory controller coupled to a memory module receives both processing-in-memory (PIM) requests and memory requests from a host (e.g., a host processor). The memory controller issues PIM requests to one group of memory banks and concurrently issues memory requests to one or more other groups of memory banks. Accordingly, memory requests are performed on groups of memory banks that would otherwise be idle while PIM requests are performed on the one group of memory banks. Optionally, the memory controller coupled to the memory module also takes various actions when switching between operating in a PIM mode and a non-processing-in-memory mode to reduce or hide overhead when switching between the two modes.
