If you can pipeline upcoming requests and tie state to a specific request, doesn't that allow you to change how you design physical memory? (at least for inference)

Stupid question, but why wouldn't {extremely large slow-write, fast-read memory} + {smaller, very fast-write memory} be a feasible hardware architecture?

If you know many, many cycles ahead what you'll need to have loaded at a specific time.

Or hell, maybe it's time to go back to memory bank switching.
