Claim 4:
5. A processing-in-memory control method for efficient instruction processing in a processing-in-memory, the method comprising:
determining a number of operands required when an instruction is processed;
performing a memory WRITE when the number of required operands is zero and the instruction is a WRITE instruction;
performing a memory READ once and responding to READ when the number of required operands is one and the instruction is a READ instruction;
performing a memory READ once and performing a memory WRITE when the number of required operands is one and the instruction is not a READ instruction;
performing a memory READ twice and performing a memory WRITE when the number of required operands is two; and
performing a memory READ n times and performing a memory WRITE when the number of required operands is n.
