Mapping Resource Constrained Applications on Chip Multiprocessors.
Anilkumar Nambiar, Vipin Chaudhary · 2005
Abstract- Most of the semiconductor companies are targeting multi-core processor for high-end embedded systems. Programming such processors for performance is quite cumbersome without proper development tools. Conventional mapping algorithms fail to address the issues of tight resource constraint found in embedded applications running on these processors. We present resource constraint based application-mapping heuristics for high performance multi-core embedded architectures. Experimental results using synthetic tests and real programs such as MPEG-2 Audio Video Decoder (MAVD) confirm the superiority of the proposed heuristics over existing solutions. For validation we have considered Cradle Technologies ’ MDSP as the target multi-core processor.
