Intelligent RAM (IRAM) combines processor and memory into a single chip to regulate the lower memory latency and enlarge bandwidth. Intelligent RAM reduces energy utilization in the memory system due to the decrease of off-chip accesses. IRAM will have many smaller amounts of external memory accesses, which use a great deal of energy to make high-capacitance off-chip buses. An IRAM has the potential for higher performance than a usual method, The Intelligent RAM method can be combined with most processor organizations. The aim of Intelligent RAM is to intend a cost-effective computer by designing a processor in a memory manufacture process, instead of in a standard logic fabrication process, and contain memory on-chip
