Frustrated Arrays of Nanomagnets for Efficient Reservoir Computing

We simulated our nanomagnet reservoir computer (NMRC) design on benchmark tasks, demonstrating NMRC’s high memory content and expressibility. In support of the feasibility of this method, we fabricated a frustrated nanomagnet reservoir layer. Using this structure, we describe a low-power, low-area system with an area-energy-delay product 10 lower than conventional RC systems, that is therefore promising for size, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained applications.
