Abstract

Future networked appliances should be able todownload new services or upgrades from the networkand execute them locally. This flexibility is typicallyachieved by processors that can download new softwareover the network, using JAVA technology. This paperdemonstrates that FPGAs are a realistic implementationplatform for thin server or client applications. FPGAscan offer the same end-user experience as softwarebased systems, combined with more computationalpower and lower cost.
