In this thesis, the design and implementation of an efficient front-end for composable resource sharing is presented. With composable re- source sharing, every application obtains a service that is not affected by interference from other applications that share the same resource. Since applications are shielded from interference, each one of them can be verified by simulation independently and integrated without reverification. This reduces the verification effort that would, other- wise, be tremendous. Our solution is based of Latency-rate (LR) servers, which are used to model service provided by a predictable resource. The front-end provides composable resource sharing when attached to a predictable resource. A series of tests have been carried out to verify that the front-end isolates applications from each other while sharing a re- source. The design has been synthesized for FPGA as well as ASIC on CMOS 90nm technology to estimate area and operating frequency.
