Israel has developed PyPIM software that enables computers to process data directly in memory, bypassing the need for the central processing unit (CPU).
Traditional Computer Programs
- Separate Hardware Components: Traditional programs rely on distinct hardware for memory and processing, with the CPU responsible for computations.
- Data Transfer Requirement: Data must be transferred from memory to the CPU for processing, which can be time-consuming and energy-intensive.

About PyPIM Platform
- Python and Processing-In-Memory (PIM) Integration: PyPIM combines Python programming language with digital PIM technology, allowing computations directly within the memory hardware, reducing reliance on CPU processing.
- In-Memory Computation: With PIM, calculations are executed directly in memory, minimizing the need for data to travel back and forth between the CPU and memory.

Benefits of PyPIM
- Enhanced Speed and Efficiency: Processing in memory addresses the “memory wall” issue, where the processor’s speed surpasses memory transfer rates, by reducing data transfer needs and CPU dependence.
- Energy and Time Savings: PyPIM’s approach of executing computations in memory reduces overall energy consumption and improves computational efficiency.
