Claim 0:
1. 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 in a stand-by state is processed;
interpreting an instruction being in a stand-by state; and
processing an instruction corresponding to the number of required operands,
wherein:
when the determined number of required operands is zero, the interpreting comprises interpreting the instruction being in the stand-by state as a WRITE instruction, and the processing comprises performing a memory WRITE, and
when the determined number of required operands is not zero, the processing comprises performing a memory READ in an internal memory of the processing-in-memory a number of times equal to the number of operands required in the interpreted instruction.
