Abstract

The growing gap in performance between processor and memory speeds has created a problem for data-intensive applications. Recent approaches for solving this problem are processor-inmemory (PIM) technology and stream processor technology.
In this paper, we assess the performance of systems based on PIM and stream processors by implementing data-intensive applications. The implementation results are compared with the measured performance of conventional systems based on the PowerPC and Pentium processors. The results show that the performance of systems based on these processors is improved up to 70 compared with conventional systems for these data-intensive applications.
