Analog crossbar arrays consisting of emerging memory devices can alleviate the computational strain required by vector matrix multiplications for neural network applications. The ability to produce spin orbit torque-magnetic random-access memory (SOT-MRAM) at wafer-scale positions SOT-MRAM as a strong memory candidate. In this work, we fabricate and measure 300 mm-compatible SOT-MRAM with 150% tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio, fast (2 ns) and low voltage (<1 V) operation, low energy dissipation (2 pJ), low write noise (0.1%), and low device-to-device variation of 10%. SOT-MRAM characteristics were shown to be effective for inference on calibrated models. The bi-stable anisotropy and stochastic switching of SOT-MRAM was leveraged for binary neural network training, able to reach ideal accuracy for a single device. Lastly, the devices were evaluated on probabilistic graph modeling and the interplay of TMR ratio and probability distribution is analyzed. Through these results, SOT-MRAM is shown to be a uniquely effective candidate for implementation of crossbar accelerators in memory- and energy-limited applications.

Robust distribution system state estimation (DSSE) is increasingly vital in modern, complex networks. However, conventional optimization-based DSSE approaches often face challenges with real-time complexity. Consequently, recent advancements have introduced learning-based, physics-aware DSSE methods that leverage network structural information to enhance model effectiveness. Among these methods, graph neural networks (GNNs) have gained prominence as an effective DSSE solution. However, GNN-based models encounter significant challenges in practical DSSE applications, due to their reliance on aggregating and propagating features only from adjacent nodes. To address this limitation, this paper presents a novel physics-aware DSSE framework. It integrates a structure-aware recurrent neural network and GNN with convolutional autoregressive moving average layers for improved feature aggregation and propagation. This model significantly enhances robustness and transferability across diverse unseen network topologies. The scalability of the proposed framework is demonstrated through extensive testing on real distribution systems. The proposed method demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods by an average of 0.625% MAPE and 0.0093 rad. MAE in normal scenario under unseen networks. Additional ablation and measurement availability studies further verify the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed framework. The framework offers a pragmatic solution for DSSE, ensuring precise state estimation even in challenging environments.
