Effects such as the initialization overhead of \aca{fimdram} can only be evaluated in such an environment.
Furthermore, the integration of \aca{fimdram} should be extended to \acp{gpu} or \acp{tpu}, so that the comparison can be extended to the deployment of the real \ac{dnn} applications.
Further research could also investigate whether the library-based approach of leveraging \ac{pim} could be replaced by a compiler-based approach.
A special compiler extension would be able to generate the necessary \ac{ld} and \ac{st} instructions by analyzing the data types of the operands.
This extension might also make use of so-called non-temporal instructions that bypass the cache hierarchy on a per-instruction basis.
In conclusion, \ac{pim} is a promising approach to address the future processing needs of \ac{ai} and possibly other applications.
Not only the architecture itself has to be considered, but also the integration of \ac{pim} into the applications at the software level.
By overcoming these challenges, \ac{pim} could be part of the solution to increase the performance and energy efficiency of future computing platforms.
