Claim 8:
9. A method of operating a cloud server, comprising:
receiving a request for operating a virtual machine using one or more processing units of the cloud server, wherein the one or more processing units supports at least one gaming operating mode for selection and operation of virtual machines, and the cloud server has an operation system separate from the at least one game operating mode;
providing secure virtual fusing to select operating the virtual machine according to the at least one gaming operating mode;
activating a secure mode by verifying a signature associated with secure signed microcode that is included with documented security files, wherein the secure mode allows access to one or more secure memory locations for the secure virtual fusing; and
enabling, after the activating, the secure virtual fusing based on the documented security files and selection of the at least one gaming operating mode independent of the operation system of the cloud server, wherein the documented security files are included in a re-programmable read only memory (ROM) employed to initialize secure processing for the secure virtual fusing.
