Our focus? Hardware-software co-design.
We are optimizing: genomic data analysis algorithms using specialized data structures and multiple PIM architectures.
The goal: Unprecedented cost, energy, and time savings for life sciences.
The "Memory Wall" is real. High-throughput sequencing drives P4 medicine, but moving that data to the CPU wastes time and energy.
The BioPIM Project is changing the game by leveraging Processing-in-Memory (PIM) to bring computation to the data.
We’re excited to share our new position paper from the BioPIM Consortium: "Processing-in-memory for genomics workloads", published online in IEEE Micro, and will be a part of the upcoming Special Issue on Data-Centric Computing. Thread below 🧵👇
