Abstract:
A computation apparatus includes a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of sense amplifiers, in which each of the memory cells includes a memory circuit and a calculation circuit. The memory circuits of the memory cells are configured to receive input values from a plurality of word lines, generate a computation result based on the input values and output the computation result to a bit line. The calculation circuits of the memory cells are configured to receive calculation input values from a plurality of calculation word lines, generate calculation output values based on the calculation input values, and output the calculation output values to a plurality of calculation bit lines. The sense amplifiers are configured to sense the calculation output values from the calculation bit lines to generate sensed values, wherein a value of the computation result is determined based on the sensed values and the calculation output values.
