Genie: An environment for partitioning and mapping in embedded multiprocessors
S. Yalamanchili, L. Te Winkel, D. Perschbacher, Belle Shenoy · 2002
Embedded multiprocessor architectures present different constraints, and therefore challenges to the problems of partitioning and mapping parallel programs. They must typically optimize throughput and/or latency while satisfying placement, memory, and processor throughput constraints. This paper describes the algorithms, organization, and application of Genie - a set of tools for the partitioning and mapping of parallel programs for embedded multiprocessor architectures under such constraints. At one end Genie is tightly coupled into a commercial software development environment - Teamwork SA/RT. At the other it presents an interface to simulation and modeling tools. A example is presented of the application of this environment to an existing real-time embedded application - autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).>
