Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to identifying an extremum value using sensing circuitry. An example method can include determining a location of an extremum value of a set of N data values stored as vectors in a memory array. A number of operations to determine the location of the extremum value can remain constant with respect to a value of N.The method can include determining the value of the extremum by reading memory cells coupled to the sense line based on the determined location of the extremum value.
