Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A computing method, wherein the computing method calculates an energy value based on a plurality of state signals and a plurality of coefficients, wherein the computing method uses a memory device, the memory device comprises a memory array of a plurality of memory elements, and each of the memory elements comprises two memory cells, and wherein the computing method comprises:
setting up the state signals in the memory array, comprising:
conducting a complementary read operation for individually selecting one of the two memory cells of each of the memory elements for receiving two corresponding state signals; and
inputting the state signals into the selected memory cells of the memory elements, wherein the selected memory cells generates a plurality of output currents; and

calculating the energy value corresponding to the state signals based on a sum value of the output currents.
