Virtualizing Intermittent Computing
Abstract
Intermittent computing requires custom programming models to ensure the correct execution of applications despite power failures. However, existing programming models lead to programs that are hardware-dependent and not reusable. This paper aims at virtualizing intermittent computing to remedy these problems. We introduce PureVM, a virtual machine that abstracts a transiently powered computer, and PureLANG, a continuation-passing-style programming language to develop programs that run on PureVM. This virtualization, for the first time, paves the way for portable and reusable transiently-powered applications.
