Abstract

A data processing system comprises one or more data processing units, a configurable interconnect and control circuitry. The control circuitry allocates one or more of the data processing units to a virtual machine and configures the configurable interconnect so as route one or more data processing tasks from the virtual machine to the one or more data processing units allocated for use by that virtual machine. This can provide a flexible and adaptable data processing system for carrying out the data processing tasks of a virtual machine, with the particular allocation of data processing units being substantially transparent to the virtual machine.
