Synchronization in cellular spin torque oscillator arrays

Spin torque nanodevices could provide a platform for computation beyond Moore´s law. The network of spin oscillators can have only local, cellular interconnections because of the underlying physics: the interaction between the oscillators happens through the magnetic field. In this paper we describe the dynamics of weakly coupled spin-torque oscillator networks and how the dynamics of these cellular arrays can be used for problem solving. We will describe how the phase shift in a synchronized array can be calculated between the elements and we will also show a simple example how the dynamics of a cellular array can be used to solve simple tasks.
