Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device includes: a plurality of memory banks divided by a plurality of channels comprising a first channel and a second channel; and a channel-level processing element (PE) configured to generate an in-memory computation result by performing an operation using a first partial result generated based on data stored in a memory bank of the first channel among the plurality of memory banks and a second partial result generated based on data stored in a memory bank of the second channel among the plurality of memory banks.
