An in-memory vector addition method for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is disclosed which includes consecutively transposing two numbers across a plurality of rows of the DRAM, each number transposed across a fixed number of rows associated with a corresponding number of bits, assigning a scratch-pad including two consecutive bits for each bit of each number being added, two consecutive bits for carry-in (C), and two consecutive bits for carry-out-bar (), assigning a plurality of bits in a transposed orientation to hold results as a sum of the two numbers, for each bit position of the two numbers: computing the associated sum of the bit position; and placing the computed sum in the associated bit of the sum.
