The present description concerns a memory module () adapted to implementing computing operations, the module comprising a plurality of elementary blocks () arranged in an array according to rows and columns, wherein: each elementary block () comprises a memory circuit () adapted to implementing computing operations, and a configurable transfer circuit (); each configurable transfer circuit () is parameterizable to transmit data originating from a first transmit elementary block to a receive elementary block of a same column of elementary blocks via at least one link bus; an internal control circuit () is connected to an input-output port () of the module; and the internal control circuit () is configured to read at least one instruction signal from the input-output port () of the module and accordingly parameterize the configuration of the configurable transfer circuits (), and define the size of the operand vectors of the computing operations.

Reconfigurable memory module designed to implement computing operations

The present description concerns a memory device () comprising: a memory circuit () implementing operations and performing elementary operations including a reading, a writing, or a computing operation; a control circuit () receiving instructions from a processor (), and breaking down each received instruction into a plurality of elementary operations to generate an elementary operation request flow; a circuit () of direct data transfer from or to said memory circuit (), the transfer circuit () receiving instructions from the processor (), breaking down each received instruction into a plurality of elementary operations to be performed in said memory circuit to generate an elementary operation request flow; an internal data exchange link () directly coupling said memory circuit () to the direct transfer circuit (); and an arbitration circuit ().
