Abstract :
WASMII is virtual hardware using a multi-context reconfigurable device with a data driven control. Since implementation of WASMII was infeasible due to the unavailability of such a device, the system has been only evaluated using an emulator so far. However, the first reconfigurable multi-context device called DRL has been developed by NEC. Making the use of its flexible reconfigurability, we have implemented a mechanism of WASMII on DRL
