Abstract
There is disclosed a computing/data processing device comprising: a plurality of computing units, each computing unit comprising a computing resource; the computing device comprising at least three computing units, each computing unit comprising a/the same computing resource; each computing unit further comprising a computing unit access manager, each unit access manager being adapted to control access to the computing resource of the respective computing unit in response to at least one request; wherein, the computing unit access manager only allows a response to the at least one request if a majority of the computing units provide a same response to the at least one request; and wherein, the computing device comprising a network-on-a-chip, is provided on a chip and/or comprises an integrated chip (IC) or microprocessor. The IC beneficially comprises a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. In a preferred embodiment, the unit access manager controls access to the computing resource based on a token; the token comprising: a pointer to the respective computing resource, a set of rights relating to that computing resource, and a numerical representation of that computing resource.
