  • DATA TRANSFER WITH A BIT VECTOR OPERATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240078247
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for direct data transfer. An example method comprises transferring data between a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is a bit vector operation device, and transforming the data using a data transform engine (DTE) by rearranging the data to enable the data to be stored on the first device when transferring the data between the second device and first memory device.

  • MEMORY SHAPES
    Publication number: 20230028372
    Abstract: A user definition of a memory shape can be received and a multidimensional, contiguous, physical portion of a memory array can be allocated according to the memory shape. The user definition of the memory shape can include a quantity of contiguous columns of the memory array, a quantity of contiguous rows of the memory array, and a major dimension of the memory shape. The major dimension can correspond to a dimension by which to initially stride data stored in the memory shape.
