摘要:

基于石墨烯的自旋扩散(GrSD)的神经网络,在这项工作中,利用本地可调的自旋输运的石墨烯和纳米磁体的非挥发性。通过使用静电门控石墨烯作为自旋电子突触,可以在自旋域中执行加权求和操作,同时可以使用电荷域中的电路对权重进行编程。耦合到磁动力学的四分量自旋/电荷电路模拟用于显示神经元突触功能的可行性,并量化不同自旋弛豫机制下石墨烯的模拟加权能力。通过实现无晶体管权重实现,石墨烯自旋扩散神经网络将每个细胞突触的能耗降低到0.08-0.32 fJ,并且与其数字对应物相比实现了显著更好的可扩展性,特别是随着突触的数量和位精度的增加。

英文摘要:

A graphene-based spin-diffusive (GrSD) neural network is presented in this work that takes advantage of the locally tunable spin transport of graphene and the non-volatility of nanomagnets. By using electrostatically gated graphene as spintronic synapses, a weighted summation operation can be performed in the spin domain while the weights can be programmed using circuits in the charge domain. Four-component spin/charge circuit simulations coupled to magnetic dynamics are used to show the feasibility of the neuron-synapse functionality and quantify the analog weighting capability of the graphene under different spin relaxation mechanisms. By realizing transistor-free weight implementation, the graphene spin-diffusive neural network reduces the energy consumption to 0.08-0.32 fJ per cell-synapse and achieves significantly better scalability compared to its digital counterparts, particularly as the number and bit accuracy of the synapses increases.
