报告摘要：
The vision of Internet of Things (IoT) is to connect “things” embedded with electronics to improved social/economic benefits and overall human well-being.  It is estimated that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020. While the vision is promising and exciting, power these 50 billion embedded devices with traditional battery or cable power will be challenging since in many cases it is inconvenient, costly, or even dangerous to replace or service them. Emerging Nonvolatile Memories (NVMs), such as PCM, STT-RAM, and RRAM, not only help reducing power consumption as memory and storage, but also enable new computing paradigms. With their non-volatility, NVMs enable accumulative computing over intermittently harvested energy, which realizes a new class of devices that can run for decades with little maintenance. In this talk, challenges and solutions to apply NVMs in embedded computing systems, such as wearable systems and sensor applications, to reduce energy consumption and enable energy harvesting powering IoT will be presented. Specifically, the design and optimization for Non-volatile Processor based computing systems which can survive ambient intermittent power supply will be covered.
