A New Technique To Use A Parallel Compiler for Multi- core Microcontrollers
A. Somdip Dey · 2012
Now a day multi-core microcontrollers are being used in various fields. Due to resource limitation of microcontrollers, programming them is difficult. This work presents a simple parallel compiler that can exploit multicore to speed up parallel tasks on a multi-core microcontroller. The parallel constructors are introduced. A scheme to use compiler directives to hint the compiler is discussed. Experiments on the real processors are performed to validate the scheme. The results show that the compiler can exploit multi-core to speed up the computation tasks on the target microcontroller.
