Abstract
A processing-in-memory device includes a memory circuit including a memory circuit including a plurality of memory cells, the memory circuit configured to designate the plurality of memory cells by a plurality of memory addresses, wherein the plurality of memory addresses are allocated to a memory address space in a memory mode, a register configured to be accessed based on a temporary memory address allocated among the plurality of memory addresses in an arithmetic mode, and an arithmetic circuit configured to perform an arithmetic operation using first and second input data to generate arithmetic result data.
Claims21
A processing-in-memory (PIM) device comprising:
- a memory circuit including a plurality of memory cells, the memory circuit configured to designate the plurality of memory cells by a plurality of memory addresses, wherein the plurality of memory addresses are allocated to a memory address space in a memory mode;
- a register configured to be accessed based on a temporary memory address allocated among the plurality of memory addresses in an arithmetic mode;
- and
- an arithmetic circuit configured to perform an arithmetic operation using first and second input data to generate arithmetic result data.
