Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method for performing an operation in a Near Memory Processing (NMP) Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) comprising:
receiving, by a circuit of the NMP DIMM, a command and a virtual address from a host system;
determining, by the circuit, an operation to be performed on a random access memory (RAM) of the NMP DIMM and a location of data within the RAM with respect to the determined operation; and
interacting, by a first control port of the circuit with a second control port of the host system,
wherein the interacting comprises:
the circuit outputting the virtual address from the first control port to the second control port to request that a memory management unit (MMU) of the host system translate the virtual address to a physical address; and
the circuit determining the location of the data within the RAM using the physical address received from the MMU through the control ports, in response to the request.
