The development of electronic devices is undergoing the bottleneck of the performance and power consuming with continuous miniaturization. Spin based logic devices, which use the spin degree of freedom, have attracted a lot of research interest due to their potential in low-power operation, non-volatility and possibility to enable new computing applications. In this work, we present a model for a magnetic majority gate in which bits are assigned to merons/antimerons. We employ atomistic spin dynamics simulations via the UppASD package on nanostructures with symmetry of a kagome lattice. The merons can propagate along the edge of the material with negligible energy dissipation due to the presence of chiral edge modes. We demonstrate how different input modes can result into a single topological excitation in the output signal.
