STRUCTURE FOR SECURING LEASED RESOURCES ON A COMPUTER
First Claim
1. A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design, the design structure comprising:
- a computer for securing resources, comprising;
at least one processor;
a plurality of resources, wherein each resource is associated with configuration data;
a programmable logic device connected to each of the plurality of resources, the programmable logic device configured for;
determining whether a resource is leased;
reading un-encoded configuration data from a resource;
sending the configuration data to a first unit, if the resource is not leased;
reading encoded configuration data from a resource;
decoding the configuration data;
sending the configuration data that was decoded to a first unit; and
logging use of the resource by the first unit, if the resource is leased.

Abstract
A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design is for securing of leased resources on a computer. The design structure includes a computer for securing resources may comprise at least one processor, a plurality of resources, wherein each resource is associated with configuration data and a programmable logic device connected to each of the plurality of resources. The programmable logic device may be configured for determining whether a resource is leased, reading un-encoded configuration data from a resource, and sending the configuration data to a first unit, if the resource is not leased. The programmable logic device may further be configured for reading encoded configuration data from a resource, decoding the configuration data, sending the configuration data that was decoded to a first unit, and logging use of the resource by the first unit, if the resource is leased.
