Title: Computer implemented method
Inventor: ALI ROHAFZA
IPC: G06F21/54
Filed: 2018-11-19
Abstract: Configuring a computer system by first feeding a set of instructions into a processor, or processing module S600. The processor then applies a transformation process, or varies the set of instructions, or programmable elements of the processing module S602. This transformation then applies an operation to the table of instructions which modifies the opcodes and this modified table is then written to a file S604. This is then repeated over the entire instruction set and a second set of instructions is written into local memory by the processor S606. This means that only a computer program compiled using a compiler that is compatible with the modified instruction set can be run using the processor, or processing module. The variation may be made by applying an arithmetic or logical operation to the programmable element, and this operation may be based on a central processing configuration key used as an operand in the respective operation.
