Design technology for networked reconfigurable FPGA platforms

Future networked appliances should be able to download new services or upgrades from the network and execute them locally. This flexibility is typically achieved by processors that can download new software over the network, using JAVA technology. The paper demonstrates that FPGAs are a realistic implementation platform for thin server or client applications. FPGAs can offer the same end-user experience as software based systems, combined with more computational power and lower cost.
