Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for vertical bit vector shift in a memory. An example method comprises storing a vertical bit vector of data in a memory array, wherein the vertical bit vector is stored in memory cells coupled to a sense line and a plurality of access lines and the vertical bit vector is separated by at least one sense line from a neighboring vertical bit vector; and performing, using sensing circuitry, a vertical bit vector shift of a number of elements of the vertical bit vector.
