ABSTRACT:
A design structure is embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes a threshold register having a counter, a count register, and a non-volatile storage for storing a state when a value of the count register equals or exceeds a value of the threshold register. Also provided is a method of predicting and/or estimating a power cycle duration in order to save a state in non-volatile memory and a circuit. The method includes setting a threshold value; determining that the threshold value has been equaled or exceeded; and saving the state in the non-volatile memory at a first checkpoint based on the threshold value being equaled or exceeded.
