1. A magnetic random access memory system comprising:
a spin-current generating portion including:
a ferromagnetic film layer; and
a conductance layer;
a first write portion in electrical contact with the ferromagnetic film including a selection device;
a first read portion in electrical contact with the conductance layer including:
a free layer magnet;
a read non-magnetic layer; and
a reference layer;
a second write portion in electrical contact with the ferromagnetic film; and
a second read portion in electrical contact with the conductance layer.
