MULTIPLICATION OPERATIONS IN MEMORY

摘要

Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for performing multi-variable bit-length multiplication operations in a memory. An example method comprises performing a multiplication operation on a first vector and a second vector. The first vector includes a number of first elements stored in a group of memory cells coupled to a first access line and a number of sense lines of a memory array. The second vector includes a number of second elements stored in a group of memory cells coupled to a second access line and the number of sense lines of the memory array. The example multiplication operation can include performing a number of AND operations, OR operations and SHIFT operations without transferring data via an input/output (I/O) line.
