Has anyone heard of this idea? It apparently delegates some
lower-level computing functions directly to the memory itself, to get
a speedup from doing everything in the CPU. It seems to be an
outgrowth of the “memristor” component that was discovered/invented by
some researchers at HP a few decades ago.

The researchers in this paper have come up with a Python library to
make the technology easier to write programs for.
