Abstract

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory device as the store to program instructions. An apparatus comprises a memory device having an array of memory cells and sensing circuitry coupled to the array. The sensing circuitry includes a sense amplifier and a compute component configured to implement logical operations. A memory controller, coupled to the array and the sensing circuitry is configured to receive a block of instructions including a plurality of program instructions. The memory controller is configured to store the block of instructions in the array and retrieve program instructions to perform logical operations on the compute component.
