  • Patent number: 12249377
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to organizing data to correspond to a matrix at a memory device are described. Data can be organized by circuitry coupled to an array of memory cells prior to the processing resources executing instructions on the data. The organization of data may thus occur on a memory device, rather than at an external processor. A controller coupled to the array of memory cells may direct the circuitry to organize the data in a matrix configuration to prepare the data for processing by the processing resources. The circuitry may be or include a column decode circuitry that organizes the data based on a command from the host associated with the processing resource. For example, data read in a prefetch operation may be selected to correspond to rows or columns of a matrix configuration.
