DARTH-PUM: A Hybrid Processing-Using-Memory Architecture

Feb 17, 2026 by Ryan Wong, B. Feinberg, Saugata Ghose

Analog processing-using-memory (PUM; a.k.a. in-memory computing) makes use of electrical interactions inside memory arrays to perform bulk matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) operations. However, many popular matrix-based kernels need to execute non-MVM operations, which analog PUM cannot directly perform.
