Abstract

While the promise of spin-torque devices for future on-chip memory is now well recognized, application of spin devices in computational hardware remains an exploratory research-domain. Several 'all-spin' as well as hybrid design-techniques have been explored for computing applications of nano-magnets. A majority of such efforts have been focused on digital logic design. Emerging spintronic phenomena may lead to ultra-low-voltage, current-mode, spin-torque devices that can offer attractive computing capabilities, beyond digital switches. Such devices may be suitable for non-Boolean data-processing applications which involve analog processing. Integration of such spin-torque devices with charge-based devices like CMOS and resistive memory can lead to highly energy-efficient information processing hardware for applicatons like pattern-matching, neuromorphic-computing, image-processing, data-conversion, and programmable-threshold-logic.
