2 2 of 32 Self-Powered Devices Autonomous wireless sensor networks RFIDs and RFID readers In-body sensors and health monitoring
3 3 of 32 Computation with Unstable Power Autonomous systems harvest power from environment Many power sources unstable / unreliable Solar Wind RF signal Limited computation Intel WISP active only 27% of the time Source: Kevin Fu, U Mass. Amherst Ex: RF energy trace RF relatively reliable Yet voltage fluctuates wildly
4 4 of 32 Non-Volatile Computing Build non-volatile processors that remember state across power interruptions Benefits Computation across power interruptions Idle time power gating without sacrificing response time Replace or augment volatile structures in processor with non-volatile structures
5 5 of 32 Non-Volatile Processor Processor has non-volatile storage Reserve capacitor Power cut-off at any time On power failure, store to nonvolatile storage (NV store) Power Capacitor Processor On power restoration, load and resume computation (NV restore) Volatile state NV memory
6 6 of 32 Outline Non-volatile processor architecture Hybrid volatile/non-volatile memory cell Prototype microcontroller Results Conclusion
7 7 of 32 Non-volatile Processor Requirements Fast and low-energy NV store and restore Perform NV store with limited energy after power failure Low impact on normal processor operation Long lifetime Minimize program/erase cycles to NV memory
8 8 of 32 Processor Design Options Discrete Fully non-volatile Processing unit Volatile registers NV memory Processing unit NV regs Volatile memory Non-Volatile memory + No impact on normal operation + Infrequent NV operations allow long lifetime Expensive NV store and erase + No NV operation after power failure High penalty on normal operation Short NV memory lifetime
9 9 of 32 Our Approach: Hybrid Architecture Hybrid volatile/non-volatile Per-cell integration of volatile and non-volatile components Enables non-volatile computing Low normal operation penalty Infrequent NV store and erase gives long lifetime Low energy NV store and erase Overheads Area of hybrid cell Energy and delay cost in normal operation Processing unit Hybrid registers Hybrid memory volatile NV cell

12 12 of 32 Hybrid Volatile/Non-volatile Memory Combines two memory types at cell-level SRAM and Flash On power failure, data in SRAM is moved to Flash (NV store) On power restoration, data moved from Flash to SRAM (NV restore) Also applied to D Flip-flop Data movement for array happens in parallel Memory Array SRAM Flash

16 16 of 32 Non-Volatile Restore Operation 1V 1V Enables ON The Flash with higher Vth will conduct less current Imbalance in current restores SRAM state
