Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods of operating memory systems are described. Processing-in-memory capable memory devices are also described, and methods of performing fused-multiply-add operations within the same. Bit positions of bits stored at one or more portions of one or more memory arrays, may be accessed via data lines by activating the same or different access lines. A sensing circuit operatively coupled to a data line may be temporarily formed and measured to determine a state (e.g., a count of the number of bits that are a logic '1') of accessed bit positions of a data line, and state information may be used to determine a computational result.
