1. A post-tapeout reconfigurable computing device for determining whether or not a job received by a device is permissible for execution, the computing device comprising:
a hardware-configurable device to:
receive a first job; and
based on parameters related to execution of the first job, determine that the first job is an unsupported job if no series of logical operations has been configured in the hardware-configurable device prior to tapeout to determine whether or not the first job is permissible for execution;
wherein the hardware-configurable device comprises an array of programmable logic blocks and reconfigurable interconnects, at least one of the logic blocks and the interconnects being reconfigurable post tapeout to perform a new, not configured prior to tapeout, series of logical operations to determine whether or not a second job received by the hardware-configurable device and having same parameters related to execution of the second job as the parameters related to the first, previously unsupported, job is permissible for execution.
