Towards Nanomagnetic Logic Systems: A Programmable Arithmetic Logic Unit for Systolic Array-based Computing (Invited)

In this paper, we show that 3D-integrated perpendicular Nanomagnetic Logic (pNML) is highly suitable for the demands of systolic array-based computing. A runtime-programmable arithmetic logic unit (ALU) built from pNML devices and applicable for pipelined and massively parallel information processing in systolic architectures is presented. Systolic architectures and signal routing concepts for integrated pNML circuits are discussed. Modeling of 3D-integrated pNML devices is presented. Simulation results prove the functionality of the ALU and pave the way for next-generation 3D-integrated magnetic computing.     «
