Arithmetic operations in memory
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to arithmetic operations in memory are described. The arithmetic operations may be performed using bit strings and within a memory array without transferring the bit strings to circuitry external to the memory array. For instance, sensing circuitry that can include a sense amplifier and a compute component can be coupled to a memory array. A controller can be coupled to the sensing circuitry and can be configured to cause one or more bit strings to be transferred from the memory array to the sensing circuitry. In addition to the arithmetic operations, the sensing circuitry can also perform a logical operation using the one or more bit strings.
