Abstract
An array of memory bit cells are operable to provide a memory device having data shifting capability, so that data can be flexibly stored and retrieved from the memory device in both parallel and serial fashions. The memory array can thus be used for conventional memory storage operations, and also for operations, such as matrix operations, that provide for the alteration of the arrangement of stored data elements.
