Designing a Prototype of Communication Protocol for FlexRAM Architecture

In recent years, many researchers investigated a new class of computer architecture, called intelligent memory (IRAM), to reduce the performance gap between the CPU and memory. In order to increase the flexibility of designing parallel applications, we develop the communication mechanisms for FlexRAM, one of the IRAM architectures. The communication protocol is called CPFR (Communication Protocol for FlexRAM). For the reason of lacking whole communication mechanism in the original FlexRAM architecture, we construct CPFR by using the features of shared-memory and the notification primitive centrally controlled by the main memory processor (P.Mem). In addition, we provide a uniform programming interface in CPFR for the programmers. An example is also used to demonstrate the usage of our communication protocol in detail.
