  1. The area is the footprint area of each nanopillar and the combined area for the weighted spin torque nano-oscillator (WSTNO). The switching time describes the programming operation of the magnetic memory (MRAM) and the operation time describes the computation of the spin torque nano-oscillator (STNO) and the WSTNO. Further details are described in Supplementary Note 2.
