Abstract

A programmable IC includes a plurality of programmable resources, a plurality of shareable logic circuits coupled to the plurality of programmable resources, and a virtualization circuit. The plurality of programmable resources includes programmable logic circuits and programmable routing resources. The virtualization circuit is configured to manage sharing of the plurality of shareable logic circuits between a plurality of user designs implemented in the plurality of programmable resources. The user designs are communicatively isolated from one another on the programmable IC.
