Israeli scientists have developed an innovative method of performing calculations directly in computer memory without using a processor, which opens up new opportunities for optimizing computer architecture.
In-memory computing
Innovative development
Technion Institute specialists (Israel) have created a unique Python-based software that allows computing operations directly in the computer's memory, bypassing the processor.
New direction in computer technology
In modern computer science, the concept of in-memory computing is actively developing. Unlike the classical approach, where data processing occurs in the processor, the new technique involves performing operations directly in the device’s memory. This significantly improves performance and reduces power consumption.
Research Breakthrough
Under the leadership of Professor Shachar Kwatinski, years of research have been conducted to overcome the "memory wall problem" - a limitation associated requiring the use of two separate hardware components. Recent publications have presented methods that allow calculations to be performed directly in memory.
Application prospects
This approach to the architecture of computer systems opens up wide application opportunities in various fields: from artificial intelligence and bioinformatics to financial sector and information systems. Many research teams in academia and industry are now engaged in research in the field of memory architecture, the development of new modules, and the study of computing processes.

Very interesting technology! 🤓 I work in IT and understand how revolutionary it is to perform calculations directly in memory. This can provide a huge performance boost in AI projects.
Sophie
Sounds promising! In our laboratory we have problems with processing large datasets. Giovanni, what kind of performance gain can you expect?
Hans
I work with neural networks, and this is a real breakthrough! 🚀 Sophie, according to preliminary data, energy savings can reach 50%, and the speed increases significantly.
Viktor
They're inventing the bicycle again! Classical von Neumann architecture has worked well for 70 years. Why fence this garden with memory? Just money down the drain... 😤
Isabella
Viktor, technology does not stand still! 💡 Imagine the potential for bioinformatics - we will be able to process genomic data much faster.
Hans
Python is a great choice for such a solution. Availability and simplicity will help to quickly implement the technology. Isabella is right about bioinformatics! 🧬
Sophie
Does anyone know when to expect the first commercial solutions? I would like to test it in real projects 🤔
Giovanni
Sophie, judging by the pace of development and the interest of large companies, I think that in a year or two we will see the first products. There are already prototypes from Samsung and Intel 💪
