1. A computing device apparatus providing non-volatile logic based computing, the apparatus comprising:

  • a plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays;

    a plurality of volatile storage elements;

    at least one non-volatile logic controller configured to control the plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays to store a machine state represented by the plurality of volatile storage elements and to read out a stored machine state from the plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays to the plurality of volatile storage elements;

    wherein at least one of the plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays is configured to store a boot state representing a state of the computing device apparatus after a given amount of a boot process is completed;

    wherein the at least one non-volatile logic controller is configured to control restoration of data representing the boot state from the at least one of the plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays to corresponding ones of the plurality of volatile storage elements in response to detecting a reset event for the computing device apparatus.
