PiDRAM: A Holistic End-to-end FPGA-based Framework for Processing-in-DRAM

Abstract PiDRAM is presented as the first flexible, end-to-end FPGA-based framework designed to solve system integration challenges for Processing-using-Memory (PuM) techniques on off-the-shelf DRAM. Utilizing an open-source RISC-V system, the framework provides comprehensive
