| Summary: | The current trend towards ?Everything as a Service? fosters a new approach on reconfigurable hardware resources.
This innovative, service-oriented approach has the potential of bringing a series of benefits for both
reconfigurable and distributed computing fields by favoring a hardware-based acceleration of web services
and increasing service performance. This paper proposes a framework for accelerating web services by
offloading the compute-intensive tasks to reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, as integrated IP
(Intellectual Property) cores. The framework provides a scalable, dynamic management of the tasks and
hardware processing cores, based on dynamic partial reconfiguration of the SoC. We have enhanced security
of the entire system by making use of the built-in detection features of the hardware device and also by
implementing active counter-measures that protect the sensitive data. |
