LOOP STRUCTURE FOR OPERATIONS IN MEMORY

摘要

Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods related to performing a loop structure for operations performed in memory. An example apparatus might also include a controller configured to cause sensing circuitry to iterate through a plurality of first elements and a plurality of second elements via a loop structure to perform an operation using the plurality of first elements and the plurality of second elements, wherein a conditional statement associated with the loop structure is used to determine whether at least one of a plurality of bits stored as an iterator mask has a particular bit-value. An example apparatus might also include sensing circuitry controllable to perform a shift operation using the iterator mask at each iteration of the loop structure and perform an AND operation using the iterator mask at each iteration of the loop structure.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first group of memory cells coupled to a first access line of a memory array and configured to store a plurality of first elements; a second group of memory cells coupled to a second access line of the memory array and configured to store a plurality of second elements; and a controller configured to cause sensing circuitry to:
iterate through the plurality of first elements and the plurality of second elements via a loop structure to perform an operation using the plurality of first elements and the plurality of second elements;
wherein a conditional statement associated with the loop structure is used to determine whether at least one of a plurality of bits stored as an iterator mask has a particular bit-value;perform a shift operation using the iterator mask at each iteration of the loop structure; andperform an AND operation using the iterator mask at each iteration of the loop structure.
