WARio: efficient code generation for intermittent computing

Intermittently operating embedded computing platforms powered by energy harvesting require software frameworks to protect from errors caused by Write After Read (WAR) dependencies. A powerful method of code protection for systems with non-volatile main memory utilizes compiler analysis to insert a checkpoint inside each WAR violation in the...

Accelerating Programmer-Friendly Intermittent Computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) is taking the world by storm, from smart lights to smart plant monitoring. This revolution is not only present in consumers’ homes, but companies are also looking for more and more ways to monitor every aspect of their production process. This transition to ubiquitous monitoring is made possible by extremely low...
