Abstract
A semiconductor device has a plurality of units, each of which includes a first memory cell that stores a value indicating a state of one node of an interaction model, a second memory cell that stores an interaction coefficient indicating an interaction from a node connected to the one node, and a third memory cell that stores a bias coefficient of the one node. Furthermore, the semiconductor device has a computing circuit that determines a value indicating a next state of the one node based on a value indicating a state of the connected node, the interaction coefficient and the bias coefficient. Also, each of the second memory cell and the third memory cell in the plurality of units includes multi-valued memory cells.
