Abstract
A non-volatile storage apparatus programs memory cells, including performing program-verify. The performing program-verify comprises applying location dependent bit line voltages to the bit lines connected to the memory cells. The location dependent bit line voltages are different in voltage magnitude for different locations based on distance from bit line drivers connected to the bit lines. The memory cells are read by applying, regardless of location, a common bit line voltage to the bit lines that is higher in voltage magnitude than the any of the location dependent bit line voltages. In one example implementation, the read process is used to perform in-memory vector-matrix multiplication.
