Abstract
A processing-in-memory (PIM) device includes first to Lth multiplication/accumulation (MAC) operators, first to Lth memory banks, and a plurality of data input/output (I/O) circuits. The first to Lth MAC operators include first to Lth left MAC operators and first to Lth right MAC operators. The plurality of data I/O circuits include left data I/O circuits and right data I/O circuits. A Uth MAC operator among the first to Lth MAC operators is configured to output one of the first to Mth MAC result data through a Uth left MAC operator among the first to Lth left MAC operators or a Uth right MAC operator among the first to Lth right MAC operators. The PIM device is configured to output the MAC result data outputted through the left MAC operators through the left data I/O circuits, and output the MAC result data outputted through the right MAC operators through the right data I/O circuits.
