Opportunistic power management for managing intermittent power available to data processing device having semi-non-volatile memory or non-volatile memory

摘要

A data processing device is configured to deploy, in response to an intermittent source of power, opportunistic power management strategies to manage harvested energy based on an expected amount of energy available to the data processing device and on expected energy expenditures defined by data processing and memory content control writing performed by the data processing device.
