The field of processing-in-memory (PIM) and compute-in-memory (CIM) is rapidly advancing towards industrialization, with multiple companies releasing chips and securing significant funding. This shift is driven by the need to overcome the limitations of traditional computing architectures, particularly in terms of power consumption and data transfer. While various technical approaches exist, including different memory media (SRAM, RRAM, DRAM) and computational methods (analog, digital, mixed-signal), the key to market success lies in overcoming engineering challenges for mass production, developing robust software toolchains, and identifying large markets where traditional architectures are insufficient.
