Systems and methods for providing virtual system on chip (vsoc) instances

A system for providing virtualized hardware resources, the system comprising:

• at least one reconfigurable hardware devices (RHD) configured to instantiate a first virtual System-on-Chip (vSoC) instance of one or more vSoC instances, the first vSoC instance implementing at least one virtualized system component, wherein:
• the at least one RHD is configured to instantiate the first vSoC instance based on a vSoC template selected from a plurality of vSoC templates stored in a memory, and
• each vSoC template of the plurality of vSoC templates defines at least one virtualized system component for instantiation by the RHD.

A system for providing virtualized hardware resources, the system comprising:

• one or more reconfigurable hardware devices (RHD) configured to instantiate a replacement virtual System-on-Chip (vSoC) instance of one or more vSoC instances, the replacement vSoC instance implementing at least one virtualized system component, wherein:
• the replacement vSoC instance is instantiated to replace an existing vSoC instance.

A method for providing virtualized hardware resources implemented via one or more reconfigurable hardware devices (RHDs), the method comprising:

• initiating execution, by a controller, of a replacement virtual system-on-chip (vSoC) instance of one or more vSoC instances on a first RHD, the replacement vSoC instance having at least one virtualized system component;
• and
• replacing, by the controller, a second vSoC instance of the one or more vSoC instances on the first RHD with the replacement vSoC.
