Patent attributes
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to bit string operations in memory are described. The bit string operations may be performed within a memory array without transferring the bit strings or intermediate results of the operations to circuitry external to the memory array. For instance, sensing circuitry that can include a sense amplifier and a compute component can be coupled to a memory array. A controller can be coupled to the sensing circuitry and can be configured to cause one or more bit strings that are formatted according to a universal number format or a posit format to be transferred from the memory array to the sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry can perform an arithmetic operation, a logical operation, or both using the one or more bit strings.
