Abstract

A memory device configured to perform in-memory processing includes a plurality of in-memory arithmetic units each configured to perform in-memory processing of a pipelined arithmetic operation, and a plurality of memory banks allocated to the in-memory arithmetic units such that a set of n memory banks is allocated to each of the in-memory operation units, each memory bank configured to perform an access operation of data requested from the in-memory arithmetic units while the pipelined arithmetic operation is performed. Each of the in-memory arithmetic units is configured to operate at a first operating frequency that is less than or equal to a product of n and a second operating frequency of each of the memory banks.
