US Patent 10261691 Computing reduction and prefix sum operations in memory

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for computing reduction and prefix sum operations in memory. A number of embodiments include processing circuitry configured to compute a reduction operation on data stored in a group of memory cells by splitting the data into a plurality of elements, copying each of the plurality of elements into elements that are wider than before being copied, and performing a logical operation associated with the reduction operation on each of the copied elements.
