Abstract
Embodiments herein describe end-to-end bindings to create zones that extend between different components in a SoC, such as an I/O gateway, a processor subsystem, a NoC, storage and data accelerators, programmable logic, etc. Each zone can be assigned to a different domain that is controlled by a tenant such as an external host, or software executing on that host. Embodiments herein create end-to-end bindings between acceleration engines, I/O gateways, and embedded cores in SoCs. Instead of these components being treated as disparate monolithic components, the bindings divide up the hardware and memory resources across components that make up the SoC, into different zones. Those zones in turn can have unique bindings to multiple tenants. The bindings can be configured in bridges between components to divide resources into the zones to enable tenants of those zones to have dedicated available resources that are secure from the other tenants.
