1) The document discusses a memory-driven near-data acceleration approach and its application to the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope project.
2) It proposes programmable custom accelerators closely integrated with memory to exploit the benefits of near-memory processing and reduce data movement.
3) The approach uses a decoupled access/execute architecture with an access processor handling memory access and scheduling, and execution pipelines performing the computations when operand data is available.
