Title
Congestion-aware task mapping in heterogeneous MPSoCs
Abstract
Multiprocessors Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs) are a trend in VLSI design, since they minimize the design crisis represented by the gap between the silicon technology and the actual SoC design capacity. MPSoCs may employ NoCs to in- tegrate several programmable processors, specialized memo- ries, and other specific IPs in a scalable way. Besides commu- nication infrastructure, another important issue in MPSoCs is task mapping. Dynamic task mapping is needed, since the number of tasks running in the MPSoC may exceed the avail- able resources. Most works in literature present static mapping solutions, not appropriate for this scenario. This paper investi- gates the performance of mapping algorithms in NoC-based heterogeneous MPSoCs, targeting NoC congestion minimiza- tion. The use of the proposed congestion-aware heuristics re- duces the NoC channel load, congestion, and packet latency.
