  • Publication number: 20150160867
    Abstract: A multidimensional storage array includes independently addressable storage elements and an input shifter. The storage elements are physically arranged into rows and columns and store particular bit(s) of a data word. The input shifter implements a circular shift to serially loaded data words to the multidimensional storage array. An output shifter may reverse the circular shift of a requested data word. The data entering storage array may be shifted to expose column addressed data such that an entire column or columns may be fed to a requesting device in a single hardware clock cycle and/or may be shifted to expose row addressed data such that an entire row or rows may be fed to the requesting device in a single hardware clock cycle.
