Abstract
We introduce a coarse-graining approach to study the movement of a Domain Wall (DW) under the influence of a spin polarized current, in the framework of atomistic spin dynamics. An increase in performance of up to 35 % is obtained. We show the dependence of the method on both exchange range and temperature effects.
