Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to scatter/gather in a memory device. An example apparatus comprises a memory device that includes an array of memory cells, sensing circuitry, and a memory controller coupled to one another. The sensing circuitry includes a sense amplifier and a compute component configured to implement logical operations. A channel controller is configured to receive a block of instructions, the block of instructions including individual instructions for at least one of a gather operation and a scatter operation. The channel controller is configured to send individual instructions to the memory device and to control the memory controller such that the at least one of the gather operation and the scatter operation is executed on the memory device based on a corresponding one of the individual instructions.
