Nonvolatile storage based computing device and using method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a nonvolatile storage based computing device. The device comprises a processor, on-chip memory and / or memory integrated on the processor and an energy storing device; the device is used for storing electric energy when being energized and providing the electric energy so as to store unsaved data on the processor to the on-chip memory and / or the memory when power off; the on-chip memory and / or the memory adopt(s) nonvolatile memory with the read-write speed measured with the order-of-magnitude of nanosecond and is used for providing memory access to data performing the operation for the processor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements to the structure of computing devices. Background technique [0002] Based on the storage program principle proposed by the Hungarian-American mathematician von Neumann in 1946, the program itself is treated as data, and the program and the data processed by the program are stored in the same way, making the storage and storage of modern computers Apps have come a long way. [0003] Today, most computers still use the organizational structure based on the von Neumann computer, and such a computer architecture is called the von Neumann architecture. A computer or computing device based on the von Neumann architecture has the ability to store or memorize programs, data, intermediate results, and final calculation results for a long time, and can send the required programs and data to the computer or computing device, and can target The data is processed by logical operations, etc., and the direction of the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the process of reading and writing data and running programs in the above-mentioned traditional computing device with three-level memory, data needs to be transmitted between the various levels of memory, so that the system has to spend a considerable amount of time to execute medium-distance or even Long-distance data reading, writing, transmission and operations such as freeing up on-chip storage and memory space, thus limiting the operating speed of computing devices

And, as mentioned above, in the above-mentioned traditional computing devices, the on-chip storage and internal memory are all volatile memories. The programs and data in the memory will be lost, which will affect the user's experience and even bring irreparable data loss to the user

Furthermore, in conventional computing devices, the memory used to execute the vast majority of applications has limited storage capacity, limiting the number or size of applications that can be run in the same period of time
