Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for near-memory data-dependent gathering and packing of data stored in a memory. A processing device extracts a function, a memory source address, and a memory destination address from a near-memory data-dependent gathering and packing primitive. A signal to perform gathering and packing operations based on the primitive is sent to near-memory processing circuitry of a memory device. The near-memory processing circuitry receives the signal, gathers data from the memory device based on the function and the memory source address, and packs the gathered data into the memory device based on the memory destination address.
