Abstract
A processing device includes a plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains having two or more non-volatile logic element arrays to storea machine state of the processing device stored in a plurality of volatile store elements. Configuration bits are read to direct which non-volatile logic element array domains are enabled first and to direct an order in which the first enabled non-volatile logic element array domains are restored or backed up in response to entering a wakeup or backup mode. Configuration bits can be read to direct an order of and a parallelism of how individual non-volatile logic element arrays in a first enabled non-volatile logic element array domain are restored or backed up. The order of restoration or backing up can be controlled by instructions from non-volatile arrays of the first enabled of the plurality of non-volatile logic element array domains.
