METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUALIZATION

摘要

A virtual system on chip (VSoC) is an implementation of a machine that allows for sharing of underlying physical machine resources between different virtual systems. A method or corresponding apparatus of the present invention relates to a device that includes a plurality of virtual systems on chip and a configuring unit. The configuring unit is arranged to configure resources on the device for the plurality of virtual systems on chip as a function of an identification tag assigned to each virtual system on chip.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a plurality of virtual systems on chip, each virtual system on chip (VSoC) relating to a subset of a plurality of resources on a single physical chip; a plurality of access control elements on the single physical chip; and a configuring unit arranged to:
assign memory subsets of a given memory to each of the plurality of virtual systems on chip; andset each access control element to control whether a given VSoC of the plurality of virtual systems on chip is enabled to access a given at least one location of the given memory.
