Abstract

The rising overheads of data-movement and limitations of general-purpose processing architectures have led to a huge surge in the interest in “processing-in-memory” (PIM) approach and “neural networks” (NN) architectures. Spintronic memories facilitate efficient implementation of PIM approach and NN accelerators, and offer several advantages over conventional memories. In this paper, we present a survey of spintronic-architectures for PIM and NNs. We organize the works based on main attributes to underscore their similarities and differences. This paper will be useful for researchers in the area of artificial intelligence, hardware architecture, chip design and memory system.
