Abstract
A system for computing comprising: a reconfigurable computing device, comprising: a lockable circuitry comprising: reconfigurable data routing junctions, each having a configuration interface and an internal configuration; a lock controller, connected to each of the reconfigurable data routing junctions; and a hardware lock bit; wherein the lock controller is configured to deliver a persistent lock signal to each of the reconfigurable data routing junctions when the hardware lock bit is in a locked state; wherein the hardware lock bit is transitioned from the locked state to an unlocked state only by a power cycle of the reconfigurable computing device; and wherein each reconfigurable data routing junction is configured to, in response to assertion of the persistent lock signal: lock the reconfigurable data routing junction's internal configuration; and decline to modify the internal configuration in response to one or more configuration signals received via the configuration interface.
