Samsung Electronics has announced the development of an in-memory computing system that combines memory and system semiconductors.

For the first time, non-volatile memories, dubbed magnetoresistive random access memory, are being used to enable the new technology, according to the worlds largest memory chipmaker.

Samsung has announced the development of an in-memory computing technology that combines memory and system semiconductors.

For the first time in the world, non-volatile memories, dubbed magnetoresistive random access memory, are enabling the new technology, according to the worlds largest memory chipmaker.

Data is stored in memory chips and computed by separate processor chips in a traditional computer architecture.

In-memory computing, on the other hand, can perform both data storage and computing in a memory network at the same time.

As a result, Samsung claims that in-memory computing consumes significantly less power because data does not need to be moved, a feature that could be useful in next-generation artificial intelligence chips.

Many have attempted to achieve in-memory computing based on MRAM due to its benefits, which include fast operation speed, endurance, and large-scale production, but the technology has eluded them, according to Samsung.

According to the company, its MRAM in-memory computing chip classified handwritten digits with a 98 percent accuracy and detected faces from scenes with a 93 percent accuracy.

Nature will publish the findings in a future issue.

The articles first author is Samsung researcher Jung Seung-chul.

In-memory computing is similar to the brain in the sense that computing also occurs within the network of biological memories, or synapses, Jung said in a statement.

In-memory computing, according to experts, is one of the semiconductor industrys most futuristic concepts.

Professor Han Tae-hee of Sungkyunkwan University told Nokia News News Korea that Samsung appears to have made a technological breakthrough based on potential-rich MRAM.

However, well need a completely different software ecosystem, including different operating systems, to fully embrace in-memory computing.

As a result, whether the new Samsung technology will be commercially viable remains to be seen, he said.
