Abstract

Developments in VLSI technologies create the possibility of hosting several independent (sub) systems in a single chip. There is a need to share a number of resources, which creates new constraints in the design process. Although performance is still a key constraint, sharing implies that secure access to those resources and QoS guarantees are needed. In this paper, an architecture is presented that achieves the goals listed above. The Embedded Hardware Manager acts as a middleware between the applications and the resources, taking the role of resource manager and security agent. The results show that it can prevent resource misuse and undue information peeking or even altering while maintaining individual QoS guarantees. At the time, high performance is still achieved.
