Non-Volatile Logic Based Processing Device

A computing device apparatus providing non-volatile logic based computing, the apparatus comprising:

• a processing device comprising:
• one or more non-volatile logic arrays;
• a plurality of data flip flop circuit elements;
• a data flip flop multiplexer connected to pass data from the plurality of data flip flop circuit elements to the one or more non-volatile logic arrays;
• at least one processing element configured to execute a non-volatile configurations logic and a non-volatile controller logic;
• and
• control and test registers accessible by user code during a user mode of the processing device,
• wherein the at least one processing element is further configured to execute the non-volatile configurations logic and the non-volatile controller logic to implement testing or monitoring of the processing device's operation through application of the control and test registers in response to application code.
