Neurocomputer e dispositivi elettronici basati sullo spin

Current computers spend huge computational resources to process cognitive and perception-related functions, which humans routinely perform every day. This has recently resulted in a great change in the field of computation where research efforts have been addressed to the development of a neurocomputer that attempts to mimic the human brain starting from the underlying physical processes characterizing the nanoelectronic components and thereby using its efficiency in recognition problems. This paper attempts to provide a review of the recent developments in the field of spintronic device based neuromorphic computing.
