Design and Optimization of Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) Architecture for Efficient Processing-in-Memory (PIM) Systems

The Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) architecture for Efficient Processing-in-Memory (PIM) systems is presented in this article. PIM architectures that incorporate computational capabilities directly into memory present a promising solution to mitigate the memory wall issue. There are several difficulties in CGRA architecture optimization for PIM systems especially when it comes to striking a balance between area efficiency, power consumption and performance. The proposed framework tackles these problems by examining crucial design components like processing element (PE) architecture memory hierarchy integration and interconnect design. Using a design space exploration (DSE) methodology we assess various CGRA configurations to find the optimal trade-offs between computation throughput, power consumption and silicon area utilization. To assist in selecting effective architectures that meet different application workloads the framework combines performance analysis and advanced modeling techniques. Based on test results, the optimized CGRA architecture for PIM achieves significant improvements in processing performance (20 percent increase in throughput), area reduction and energy efficiency (up to 40 percent reduction in power consumption) when compared to conventional PIM designs. Our architecture is well-suited for data-intensive applications such as machine learning and graph analytics since these enhancements are achieved without compromising computational accuracy or scalability.

The best and most compatible hardware solutions need to be developed to meet the growing demand for communication in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This paper suggests using dynamic voltage and frequency scaling or DVFS for designing adaptive VLSI circuits for small IoT communication networks. DVFS is used to adjust the operating voltage and frequency of circuits and reduce power consumption when network traffic is light. It also maintains high-speed operation under heavy loads. By satisfying the requirements of the oscillating network the proposed VLSI design preserves low latency and high power efficiency. Simulations and prototype implementations show that in comparison to conventional VLSI designs the system features notable improvements in both communication speed and power consumption. These findings show that by strengthening power and traffic performance in IoT networks through the integration of VLSI circuits DVFS can be a good option for resource-constrained IoT devices and real-time applications.
