Memory device to provide in-memory computation functionality for a pipeline circuit architecture

A method at a memory device for performing an in-memory computation, the method comprising:

• receiving first data and instructions via an input interface of the memory device, wherein a memory controller is coupled to the memory device via the input interface, wherein the instructions indicate a sequence of operations;
• storing the first data to a memory array of the memory device;
• generating a configuration of the memory device based on the instructions;
• automatically performing the sequence of operations, based on the configuration, to generate second data, wherein the automatically performing comprises performing a computation at the memory device based on the first data stored at the memory array;
• storing the second data to the memory array;
• and
• communicating the second data from an output interface of the memory device, the output interface distinct from the input interface.

A system to perform in-memory computations, the system comprising:

• a memory device comprising:
• an input interface to receive first data and instructions while the memory device is coupled to a memory controller via the input interface, wherein the instructions indicate a sequence of operations;
• a memory array to store the first data;
• first circuitry coupled to the memory array, the first circuitry to generate a configuration of the memory device based on the instructions;
• second circuity coupled to the first circuitry and to the memory array, the second circuity to:
• automatically perform the sequence of operations, based on the configuration, to generate second data, wherein the second circuity is to perform a computation based on the first data stored at the memory array;
• and
• store the second data to the memory array;
• and
• an output interface to communicate the second data from the memory device, the output interface distinct from the input interface;
• and
• a display device coupled to the memory device, the display device to display an image based on the second data.
