David Patterson (famous for RISK, RAID and computer clusters) tried to make IRAM (RAM chips with processors) happen 15 years ago. I think the idea is sound. It's just question of when.

See the Venray TOMI processors that do exactly that. Result is incredible performance at many fold lower cost in silicon.


That is correct. Also, even before that people were putting blit operations in DRAM as well as GC ops.


RISC not RISK
