    Abstract: A memory array arranged in multiple columns and rows. Computation circuits that each calculate a computation value from cell values in a corresponding column. A column multiplexer cycles through multiple data lines that each corresponds to a computation circuit. Cluster cycle management circuitry determines a number of multiplexer cycles based on a number of columns storing data of a compute cluster. A sensing circuit obtains the computation values from the computation circuits via the column multiplexer as the column multiplexer cycles through the data lines. The sensing circuit combines the obtained computation values over the determined number of multiplexer cycles. A first clock may initiate the multiplexer to cycle through its data lines for the determined number of multiplexer cycles, and a second clock may initiate each individual cycle. The multiplexer or additional circuitry may be utilized to modify the order in which data is written to the columns.

    Abstract: An embodiment pointing method to generate screen-frame displacement data based on 3D-space movements of a pointing electronic device, comprises receiving a gravity vector (g), having components (gx, gy, gz) corresponding to respective projections of gravity acceleration ({right arrow over (g)}) on three axes (X, Y, Z) of a 3D reference system associated with the pointing electronic device, generated by a sensor-fusion algorithm from joint processing of an acceleration signal, indicative of acceleration acting on the pointing electronic device along the three axes, and of a gyroscope signal (Gyro), indicative of angular rate of rotation of the pointing electronic device around the three axes. The method further comprises implementing a roll-compensation of the gyroscope signal (Gyro) as a function of the gravity vector (g) to determine a roll-compensated gyroscope signal (Gyro′); and generating the screen-frame displacement data based on the roll-compensated gyroscope signal (Gyro′).
