Abstract
Non-volatile storage circuitry is provided as primary storage accessible to processing circuitry, e.g. as registers, a cache, scratchpad memory, TLB or on-chip RAM. Power control circuitry powers down a given region of the non-volatile storage circuitry when information stored in said given region is not being used. This provides opportunities for more frequent power savings than would be possible if primary storage was implemented using volatile storage.
