Configuration Bit Sequencing Control of Nonvolatile Domain and Array Wakeup and Backup

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

• a plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains wherein at least one of the non-volatile logic element array domains comprises two or more non-volatile logic element arrays;
• a plurality of volatile storage elements;
• at least one non-volatile logic controller configured to control the plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains to store a machine state represented by the plurality of volatile storage elements and to read out a stored machine state from the plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains to the plurality of volatile storage elements;
• wherein the at least one non-volatile logic controller is further configured to read configuration bits that direct which of the plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains are enabled first in response to the computing device apparatus's entering a wakeup or backup mode;
• wherein the at least one non-volatile logic controller is further configured to read configuration bits that direct an order in which the first enabled of the plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains are restored or backed up in response to the computing device apparatus's entering a wakeup or backup mode.
