Apparatus and methods for in data path compute operations
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for in data path compute operations. An example apparatus includes an array of memory cells. Sensing circuitry is selectably coupled to the array. A plurality of shared input/output (I/O) lines provides a data path. The plurality of shared I/O lines selectably couples a first subrow of a row of the array via the sensing circuitry to a first compute component in the data path to move a first data value from the first subrow to the first compute component and a second subrow of the respective row via the sensing circuitry to a second compute component to move a second data value from the second subrow to the second compute component. An operation is performed on the first data value from the first subrow using the first compute component substantially simultaneously with movement of the second data value from the second subrow to the second compute component.

Memory device for receiving one clock signal as a multi-level signal and restoring original data encoded into the clock signal and method of operating the same
A method of operating a memory device including receiving a multilevel signal having M levels transmitted by an external controller through a clock receiving pin, where M is a natural number greater than 2, and decoding the multilevel signal to restore at least one of Data Bus Inversion (DBI) data, Data Mask (DM) data, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) data, or Error Correction Code (ECC) data may be provided. The multilevel signal is a clock signal transmitted by the external controller, and is a signal swinging based on an intermediate reference signal that is an intermediate value between a minimum level and a maximum level among the M levels.

DATA STORAGE BASED ON RANK MODULATION IN SINGLE-LEVEL FLASH MEMORY
Technologies are generally described to store data in single-level memory using rank modulation. In some examples, data to be encoded to single-level memory may be represented with a bit ranking for a group of bits. A program vector may then be determined from the bit ranking and partial program characteristics associated with the memory group(s). The memory group(s) may then be programmed according to the program vector. The encoded data may be subsequently retrieved by performing a series of partial programming operations on the memory group(s) to recover the bit ranking and derive the data represented.
Apparatuses and methods for organizing data in a memory device
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to organizing data to correspond to a matrix at a memory device are described. Data can be organized by circuitry coupled to an array of memory cells prior to the processing resources executing instructions on the data. The organization of data may thus occur on a memory device, rather than at an external processor. A controller coupled to the array of memory cells may direct the circuitry to organize the data in a matrix configuration to prepare the data for processing by the processing resources. The circuitry may be or include a column decode circuitry that organizes the data based on a command from the host associated with the processing resource. For example, data read in a prefetch operation may be selected to correspond to rows or columns of a matrix configuration.

Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising: receiving a write data request to store write data to the memory device; determining a physical block address associated with the write data request; performing a bitwise operation on each bit of the physical block address to generate a seed value; generating an output sequence based on the seed value; performing another bitwise operation on the output sequence and the write data to generate a randomized sequence; and storing, on the memory device, the randomized sequence.
