Abstract

Due to their interesting physical properties, myriad operational regimes, small size, and industrial fabrication maturity, magnetic tunnel junctions are uniquely suited for unlocking novel computing schemes for in-hardware neuromorphic computing. In this paper, we focus on the stochastic response of magnetic tunnel junctions, illustrating three different ways in which the probabilistic response of a device can be used to achieve useful neuromorphic computing power.
