    Abstract: A product-sum operation device includes a product operator, a sum operator, and a malfunction determiner. The product operator includes a plurality of product operation elements (10AA) to (10AC), and each of the plurality of product operation elements (10AA) to (10AC) is a resistance change element. The sum operator includes an output detector that detects the sum of outputs from the plurality of product operation elements (10AA) to (10AC). The malfunction determiner determines that a malfunction has occurred when the sum detected by the output detector exceeds a specified value. The specified value is a value equal to or greater than a maximum value of the sum that can be detected by the output detector when the plurality of product operation elements (10AA) to (10AC) all operate normally.

    Abstract: A multiply and accumulate calculation device includes a multiple calculation unit and a accumulate calculation unit. The multiple calculation unit includes a plurality of multiple calculation elements, which are variable resistance elements, and at least one reference element. The accumulate calculation unit includes an output detector configured to detect a total value of at least outputs from the plurality of multiple calculation elements. Each of the plurality of multiple calculation elements is a magnetoresistance effect element including a magnetized free layer having a magnetic domain wall, a magnetization fixed layer in which a magnetization direction is fixed, and a nonmagnetic layer sandwiched between the magnetized free layer and the magnetized fixed layer. The reference element is a reference magnetoresistance effect element having a magnetization free layer that does not have the magnetic domain wall.

    Abstract: A magnetic domain wall movement type magnetic recording element includes: a first ferromagnetic layer which includes a ferromagnetic body; a non-magnetic layer which faces the first ferromagnetic layer; and a magnetic recording layer which faces a surface of the non-magnetic layer on a side opposite to the first ferromagnetic layer and extends in a first direction. The magnetic recording layer has a concave-convex structure on a second surface opposite to a first surface which faces the non-magnetic layer.
