Abstract
An apparatus for performing in-memory computation for stateful, transaction-oriented applications is provided. The apparatus includes a multi-level array of storage cells. The storage cells are configurable for a read access from one of a plurality of access data paths. The plurality of access data paths are also configurable for a write access from one of the plurality of access data paths. The multi-level array is capable of being configurable into logical partitions with arbitrary starting addresses. The apparatus further includes a compute element in communication with the multi-level array over the plurality of access data paths, the compute element configured to issue a plurality of memory accesses to the multi-level array through the plurality of access data paths. Methods for programming a multi-level array of storage cells and for processor design are also provided.
