1. An apparatus, comprising: a host; and a memory device, comprising: a first group of memory cells coupled to a first access line and a number of sense lines of a memory array; a second group of memory cells coupled to a second access line and the number of sense lines of the memory array; and a controller, in response to receiving an instruction from the host, configured to use sensing circuitry to shift a first element stored in the first group of memory cells by a number of bits positions defined by a second element stored in the second group of memory cells; wherein the host is configured to provide the instruction to the memory device to request data of the first element that is shifted by the number of bit positions.
