Abstract :
DRAM-type multicontext FPGA has potential for virtual hardware, since it is possible to implement a large number of contexts in a single chip. However, only a few examples have been reported because of the difficulty of the mixed process involving DRAM and logic. Here we try to implement a prototype multicontext FPGA with DRAM for virtual hardware
