Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the invention relate to implementing a probabilistic graphical model (PGM) using magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). One embodiment comprises a memory array of magnetic tunnel junctions and a driver unit for programming the memory array to represent a probabilistic graphical model. The magnetic tunnel junctions are organized into multiple subsets of magnetic tunnel junctions. The driver unit selectively applies an electrical pulse to a subset of magnetic tunnel junctions to program information representing a probabilistic belief state in said subset of magnetic tunnel junctions.
