Abstract
A computer platform is disclosed. The computer platform comprises a central processing unit (CPU) including at least one socket having a plurality of tiles and control circuitry to partition the socket into a plurality of sub-sockets and assign a unique identity to each of the plurality of sub-sockets for security verification, wherein each sub-socket comprises at least one of the plurality of tiles to operate as a cluster of resources.

A method comprising:
- detecting a partitioning of a central processing unit (CPU) socket having a plurality of tiles into plurality of plurality of sub-sockets;
- and
- assigning a unique identity to each of the plurality of sub-sockets for security verification, wherein each sub-socket comprises at least one of the plurality of tiles to operate as a cluster of resources.
A system on chip (SOC) comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) including:
- at least one socket having a plurality of tiles;
- and
- control circuitry to partition the socket into a plurality of sub-sockets and assign a unique identity to each of the plurality of sub-sockets for security verification, wherein each sub-socket comprises at least one of the plurality of tiles to operate as a cluster of resources;
- and
- a security engine to verify the identity of the plurality of sub-sockets.
