Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) As a method of reducing the power consumption of the flip-flop circuit, there is a nonvolatile flip-flop (NVFF) that enables power gating by using magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). Furthermore, the NVFF that realizes store energy reduction by enabling to verify stored data has been proposed. However, the control to verify is complicated, and it requires to change the operation depending on each application. In this paper, we propose a method and circuit structure enabling the NVFF control by assembly instructions of a reconfigurable accelerator Cool Mega-Array (CMA) using the NVFF enabling to verify. We show the simulation results of the energy consumption when operating the application.
