Abstract:
Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for smallest value element or largest value element determination in memory. An example method comprises: storing an elements vector comprising a plurality of elements in a group of memory cells coupled to an access line of an array; performing, using sensing circuitry coupled to the array, a logical operation using a first vector and a second vector as inputs, with a result of the logical operation being stored in the array as a result vector; updating the result vector responsive to performing a plurality of subsequent logical operations using the sensing circuitry; and providing an indication of which of the plurality of elements have one of a smallest value and a largest value.
