Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to determining population count. An example apparatus comprises an array of memory cells coupled to sensing circuitry. The apparatus can include a controller configured to cause: summing, in parallel, of data values corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of first vectors stored in memory cells of the array as a data value sum representing a population count thereof, wherein a second vector is stored as the plurality of first vectors, and wherein each first vector of the plurality of first vectors is stored in respective memory cells of the array that are coupled to a respective sense line of a plurality of sense lines; and iteratively summing, in parallel, of data value sums corresponding to the plurality of first vectors to provide a single data value sum corresponding to the second vector.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for determining population count, comprising:\n storing a vector in memory cells coupled to a number (R) of access lines and a number (C) of sense lines of an array coupled to sensing circuitry comprising a sense amplifier and a compute component coupled to the C sense lines; performing, in parallel and using the sense amplifier and the compute component, a first summation operation on data values stored in memory cells coupled to respective ones of the C sense lines to determine C sense line population count sums corresponding to the respective sense lines; subsequently performing a second summation operation, comprising:\n summing, in parallel and using the sense amplifier and the compute component, at least two particular sense line population count sums of the C sense line population count sums to provide a first number of updated population count sums; and \n responsive to the first number of updated population count sums being greater than one, subsequently performing a number of summation operation iterations, wherein each one of the number of summation operation iterations comprises:\n summing, in parallel and using the sense amplifier and the compute component, at least two particular population count sums of the first number of updated population count sums determined in an immediate prior summation operation iteration to provide an updated number of updated population count sums; and \n wherein the number of summation operation iterations are performed until the first number of updated population count sums is equal to one.
