Non-Volatile Processors – Enabling a new generation of battery-less Internet of Things

A new class of embedded processors – called as non-volatile processors - that operate reliably with unreliable, scavenged power will be introduced. These processors integrate non-volatile memory along with computational structures to provide an instant sleep/wake-up feature. This talk will explore the design space of device technologies, power management circuits and processor architectures involved in non-volatile processor driven systems. Next, compiler and software-level design interactions with a focus on emerging IoT applications will be introduced. This seminar will prepare the attendees for the new wave of self-powered IoT applications that are emerging.
