Design of a nonvolatile-register-embedded RISC-V CPU with software-controlled data-retention and hardware-acceleration functions

This paper describes the design of a nonvolatile CPU based on RISC-V that is an open-source and highly flexible instruction set architecture. This CPU incorporates nonvolatile registers utilizing magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device, as well as custom instructions specific to the control of these n...
