The promise of spintronics for unconventional computing
2021
Novel computational paradigms may provide the blueprint to help solving the time and energy limitations that we face with our modern computers, and provide solutions to complex problems more efficiently (with reduced time, power consumption and/or less device footprint) than is currently possible with standard approaches. Spintronics offers a promising basis for the development of efficient devices and unconventional operations for at least three main reasons: (i) the low-power requirements of spin-based devices, i.e., requiring no standby power for operation and the possibility to write information with small dynamic energy dissipation, (ii) the strong nonlinearity, time nonlocality, and/o…
Nanomagnetic Self-Organizing Logic Gates
2021
The end of Moore's law for CMOS technology has prompted the search for low-power computing alternatives, resulting in several promising proposals based on magnetic logic[1-8]. One approach aims at tailoring arrays of nanomagnetic islands in which the magnetostatic interactions constrain the equilibrium orientation of the magnetization to embed logical functionalities[9-12]. Despite the realization of several proofs of concepts of such nanomagnetic logic[13-15], it is still unclear what the advantages are compared to the widespread CMOS designs, due to their need for clocking[16, 17] and/or thermal annealing [18,19] for which fast convergence to the ground state is not guaranteed. In fact, i…
