A Processor-in-memory (PIM) refers to a computer processor tightly coupled to memory, generally on the same silicon chip. Notable PIM projects include the UC Berkeley IRAM or Notre Dame PIM efforts.
The chief goal of merging the processing and memory components in this way is to reduce memory latency and increase bandwidth.
