Abstract
The pertinent characteristics of Field Programmable Arrays (FPGA), such as parallelism, low-power consumption, programmability, and low cost, make FPGA convenient for real-time applications, time-consuming algorithms as well, and services (MWS). Once built on FPGA, MWS becomes much less vulnerable to software attacks. Although FPGA technology implies lower performance and higher dimensions than Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), FPGA offers the advantages of programmability, reduced design costs and time-to-market. Indeed, multimedia Web services on FPGA are becoming common due to the availability different design tools as well as opensource modules. In this article, we are particularly interested in designing multimedia Web services with high Quality of Service (QoS) that employ substantial processing and memory resources. |
