Abstract:
The described embodiments include a memory with a memory array and logic circuits. In these embodiments, logical operations are performed on data from the memory array by reading the data from the memory array, performing a logical operation on the data in the logic circuits, and writing the data back to the memory array. In these embodiments, the logic circuit is located in the memory so that the data read from the memory array need not be sent to another circuit (e.g., a processor coupled to the memory, etc.) to have the logical operation performed.
