US Patent 11934798 Counter-based multiplication using processing in memory

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for a memory device such as, for example, a Processing-In-Memory Device that is configured to perform multiplication operations in memory using a popcount operation. A multiplication operation may include a summation of multipliers being multiplied with corresponding multiplicands. The inputs may be arranged in particular configurations within a memory array. Sense amplifiers may be used to perform the popcount by counting active bits along bit lines. One or more registers may accumulate results for performing the multiplication operations.
