What would be a good approach to implement a web server in an fpga ? (verilog or vhdl? xillinx or altera? ...etc) It is something I have been thinking a lot lately.
- _yosefk 13y agoRun on the on-chip CPU :) (Which bits would you want to implement in Verilog? As to Verilog vs VHDL - Verilog, always :)
- VLM 13y agoCorrection that I'd use the on-chip CPU and make the on-FPGA ethernet controller smarter and smarter over time until the on chip CPU isn't doing much other than telling a terrifically smart TCP accelerating ethernet interface to look at a certain array every time someone connects to port 80. Doing that in one jump would be pretty dumb. I'd start with FPGA "hardware" acceleration of ethernet header checksum. Then start accelerating the IP headers. Then start accelerating the TCP headers.
- jonmrodriguez 13y agoMaybe you'd want to write a super-fast template language evaluator. And give it the ability to call database queries.
