SS-AXI: Secure and Safe Access Control Mechanism for Multi-Tenant Cloud FPGAs

2023 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS, ISCAS.

By: E. Karabulut n, A. Awad n & A. Aysu n

author keywords: Multi-tenant cloud FPGAs; access control mechanism; memory isolation
TL;DR: This paper proposes an improved access control mechanism for multi-tenant cloud FPGAs that allows dynamic configuration of access control privileges and has three advantages: enabling secure resource sharing of on-chip BRAMs to tenants, enabling safe sharing by resolving deadlocks and faulty access requests, and improvement in latency and throughput.
