Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods related to performing logical operations using sensing circuitry are provided. One apparatus comprises an array of memory cells, sensing circuitry coupled to the array of memory cells via a sense line, and a controller coupled to the array of memory cells and the sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry includes a sense amplifier and does not include an accumulator. The controller is configured to perform logical operations using the array of memory cells as an accumulator without transferring data out of the memory array and sensing circuitry.
