Methods and circuits for streaming data to processing elements in stacked processor-plus-memory architecture

A method of streaming operands from a memory die into a series of processing elements, each processing element having local processing-element storage, the method comprising:

• initializing each of the processing elements to store a skip number;
• sequencing the operands through the processing elements, the operands separated by at least one streaming period;
• changing the skip number at each processing element for each of the operands presented to the processing element;
• and
• at each of the processing elements presented with a current one of the operands:
• comparing the skip number to a reference;
• and
• if the skip number matches the reference, storing the current one of the operands in the processing-element storage.

A method of streaming operands from a memory die into a series of processing elements, each processing element having local processing-element storage, the method comprising:

• initializing each of the processing elements with a respective stored operand identifier;
• sequencing the operands through the processing elements, each operand paired with a corresponding streamed operand identifier;
• and
• at each of the processing elements presented with one of the operands:
• comparing the stored operand identifier with the streamed operand identifier;
• and
• if the stored operand identifier matches the streamed operand identifier, storing the one of the operands paired with the matching streamed operand identifier.
