Abstract

Various implementations described herein are related to a device having energy harvesting circuitry that experiences power failures. The device may include computing circuitry having a processor coupled to the energy harvesting circuitry. The processor may be configured to reduce a number of write operations to a log structure having a hardware bit-vector used by the computing circuitry to boost computational progress even with the power failures.
