Abstract:
In the past few years, MPSoC has become the most popular
solution for embedded computing. However, the challenge of
programming MPSoCs also comes as the biggest side-effect
of the solution. Especially, when designers have to face the
legacy C code accumulated through the years, the tool sup-
port is mostly unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose an
integrated framework, MAPS, which aims at parallelizing
C applications for MPSoC platforms. It extracts coarse-
grained parallelism on a novel granularity level. A set of
tools have been developed for the framework. We will intro-
duce the major components and their functionalities. Two
case studies will be given, which demonstrate the use of
MAPS on two different kinds of applications. In both cases
the proposed framework helps the programmer to extract
parallelism efficiently.
