Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory bank groups configured to be accessed in parallel; an internal memory bus configured to receive external data from outside the plurality of memory bank groups; and a first computation circuit configured to receive internal data from a first memory bank group of the plurality of memory bank groups during each first period of a plurality of first periods, receive the external data through the internal memory bus during each second period of a plurality of second periods, the second period being shorter than the first period, and perform a processing in memory (PIM) arithmetic operation on the internal data and the external data during each second period.
