  Emerging computing architectures such as near-memory computing (NMC) promise
improved performance for applications by reducing the data movement between CPU
and memory. However, detecting such applications is not a trivial task. In this
ongoing work, we extend the state-of-the-art platform-independent software
analysis tool with NMC related metrics such as memory entropy, spatial
locality, data-level, and basic-block-level parallelism. These metrics help to
identify the applications more suitable for NMC architectures.
