We present the first experimental demonstration of a neuromorphic network with magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) synapses, which performs image recognition via vector-matrix multiplication. We also simulate a large MTJ network performing MNIST handwritten digit recognition, demonstrating that MTJ crossbars can match memristor accuracy while providing increased precision, stability, and endurance.
