Computer security failures are widespread, and often the weakest link in the security chain is the human.
By partitioning the computer, if a virus, for example, infects a role, only the data in the infected role will be vulnerable rather than the whole computer as is common today.
Chameleon is inspired by previous work on sandboxing, partitioning, role-based access control, and compartmented-moded workstations; however, it starts not with security mechanisms but with making the security features intelligible, convenient, and usable to a broad group of users.

 Chameleon Computing - Computerworld
By opening and closing the millions of logic gates on such chips, their circuitry can be changed so as to perform signal processing one instant, for example, and an encryption function the next.
Because reconfigurable computing chips do away with a lot of the redundancy and overhead found on static processors, they also consume less energy while delivering greater speed.
Also, Turley says, "most people haven't really wrapped their heads around how to create and manage computers that change on the fly." Nor is there a full understanding of what applications might truly benefit from the approach, he says.
