Abstract
An apparatus includes processing circuitry configured that performs data processing in response to instructions of one of a plurality of software execution environments. First stage partition identifier remapping circuitry remaps a partition identifier specified for a memory transaction by a first software execution environment to a internal partition identifier to be specified with the memory transaction issued to at least one memory system component. In response to a memory transaction to be handled, the at least one memory system component controls allocation of resources for handling the memory transaction or manage contention for the resources in dependence on a selected set of memory system component parameters selected in dependence on the internal partition identifier specified by the memory transaction. Second stage partition identifier remapping circuitry dynamically overrides the internal partition identifier to be specified with the memory transaction based on a sideband input signal and the first stage partition identifier remapping circuitry indicates, for the partition identifier, whether the second stage partition identifier remapping circuitry is to be used.
