Abstract
The present invention is related to a computing device (CD), in particular for automotive applications, with a safe and secure coupling between virtual machines (VMi) and a peripheral component interconnect express device (PCIe-D). The invention is further related to a vehicle comprising such a computing device (CD). The computing device (CD) comprises one or more virtual machines (VMi) and a virtual switch (VS). The virtual switch (VS) is configured to provide a safe and secure coupling between the one or more virtual machines (VMi) and at least one peripheral component interconnect express device (PCIe-D) configured to support single-root input/output virtualization, to which the computing device (CD) is connected.
