Abstract
Embodiments relate to vector processing in an active memory device. An aspect includes a system for vector processing in an active memory device. The system includes memory in the active memory device and a processing element in the active memory device. The processing element is configured to perform a method including decoding an instruction with a plurality of sub-instructions to execute in parallel. An iteration count to repeat execution of the sub-instructions in parallel is determined. Execution of the sub-instructions is repeated in parallel for multiple iterations, by the processing element, based on the iteration count. Multiple locations in the memory are accessed in parallel based on the execution of the sub-instructions.
