1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a memory device, comprising;

    an array of memory cells;

    sensing circuitry coupled to the array via a plurality of sense lines;

    a first shared I/O line configured to selectably couple a first subset of the plurality of sense lines and a second shared I/O line configured to selectably couple a second subset of the plurality of sense lines;

    a shift element configured to selectably couple the first shared I/O line to the second shared I/O line to enable a data shift operation; and

    a controller configured to direct selectable coupling of the array, the sensing circuitry, and the shift element to enable a shift of a data value from the first shared I/O line to the second shared I/O line.
