NORM：一种基于FPGA的非易失性存储器间歇计算仿真框架
NORM: An FPGA-based Non-volatile Memory Emulation Framework for Intermittent Computing
摘要：
间歇式计算系统仅依靠在其微小能量储存器（通常是电容器）中积累的收集能量来运行。间歇性设备在其电容器中没有能量时由于电源故障而死亡，并且在所收集的能量足以为其硬件组件供电时再次启动。由于计算状态的频繁丢失，电源故障阻止了计算的向前进展。为了解决这个问题，间歇计算系统包括具有高写入耐久性的内置快速非易失性存储器，以存储尽管频繁的电源故障也持续存在的信息。然而，设计工具的缺乏使得这些系统的快速原型化变得困难。尽管FPGA是持续供电架构的快速原型和行为验证的常见平台，但它们并不针对间歇性计算系统的原型。本文介绍了一个新的基于FPGA的框架，命名为NORM（非易失性存储器仿真器），模拟和验证任何间歇性计算系统，利用快速非易失性存储器的行为。我们的评估表明，NORM可以用来模拟和验证基于FeRAM的瞬态供电的硬件架构成功。
英文摘要：
Intermittent computing systems operate by relying only on harvested energy accumulated in their tiny energy reservoirs, typically capacitors. An intermittent device dies due to a power failure when there is no energy in its capacitor and boots again when the harvested energy is sufficient to power its hardware components. Power failures prevent the forward progress of computation due to the frequent loss of computational state. To remedy this problem, intermittent computing systems comprise built-in fast non-volatile memories with high write endurance to store information that persists despite frequent power failures. However, the lack of design tools makes fast-prototyping these systems difficult. Even though FPGAs are common platforms for fast prototyping and behavioral verification of continuously-powered architectures, they do not target prototyping intermittent computing systems. This article introduces a new FPGA-based framework, named NORM (Non-volatile memORy eMulator), to emulate and verify the behavior of any intermittent computing system that exploits fast non-volatile memories. Our evaluation showed that NORM can be used to emulate and validate FeRAM-based transiently-powered hardware architectures successfully.
