ABSTRACT
With conventional Von Neumann computing struggling to match the energy‐efficiency of biological systems, there is pressing need to explore alternative computing models. CMOS switches, although universal, fails to offer additional features to meet this end goal. Recent experimental studies have revealed that spintronics possess many promising features that can not only enable non Von Neumann compute models but also high‐density storage, sensing of environmental parameters and protection from cybersecurity threats. This paper provides an in‐depth study of spintronics and its relation to these novel aspects from device, circuit and system standpoint.
