Computing-in-Memory with Spintronics

摘要

In-memory computing is a promising approach to alleviating the processor-memory data transfer bottleneck in computing systems. While spintronics has attracted great interest as a non-volatile memory technology, recent work has shown that its unique properties can also enable in-memory computing. We summarize efforts in this direction, and describe three different designs that enhance STT-MRAM to perform logic, arithmetic, and vector operations and evaluate transcendental functions within memory arrays.
