WebAssembly (WASM) has emerged as a novel standard aimed at enhancing the performance of web applications, developed to complement traditional JavaScript. By offering a platform-independent binary code format, WASM facilitates rapid and efficient execution within web browsers. This attribute is particularly advantageous for tasks demanding significant computational power. However, in resource-constrained environments such as embedded systems, the processing speed and memory requirements of WASM become prominent drawbacks. To address these challenges, this paper introduces the design and implementation of a hardware accelerator specifically for WASM. The proposed WASM accelerator achieves up to a 142-fold increase in computation speed for the selected algorithms compared to embedded systems. This advancement significantly enhances the execution efficiency and real-time processing capabilities of WASM in embedded systems. The paper analyzes the fundamentals of WebAssembly and provides a comprehensive description of the architecture of the accelerator designed to optimize WASM execution. Also, this paper includes the implementation details and the evaluation process, validating the utility and effectiveness of this methodology. This research makes a critical contribution to extending the applicability of WASM in embedded systems, offering a strategic direction for future technological advancements that ensure efficient execution of WASM in resource-limited environments.
