They do what you were talking about, not what I was. They seem annoying. "The IPU has a unique memory architecture consisting of large amounts of In-Processor-Memory™ within the IPU made up of SRAM (organised as a set of smaller independent distributed memory units) and a set of attached DRAM chips which can transfer to the In-Processor-Memory via explicit copies within the software. The memory contained in the external DRAM chips is referred to as Streaming Memory™." There's a ™ every few words. Those seem like pretty generic terms. That's their technical documentation. The architecture is reminiscent of some ideas from circa-2000 which didn't pan out. It reminds me of Tilera (the guy who ran it was the Donald Trump of computer architectures; company was acquihired by EZchip for a fraction of the investment which was put into it, which went to Mellanox, and then to NVidia).
