Multi/many-core processors are being increasingly used to reduce power consumption and improve performance. The use of model-based development for embedded systems has also been increasing. Relative these trends, the parallelizer or MBP an essential role in parallelizing applications at model level. maps Simulink blocks cores using various types information such as block characteristics, C code...

With the proliferation of multimedia group applications, the construction of multicast trees satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements is becoming a problem of the prime importance. In this paper, we study the core selection problem that should produce the improved delay-bounded multicast tree in terms of the delay variation that is known to be NP-complete [8]. A solution to this pro...

Many-core processor based systems gain popularity in high-performance parallel embedded applications. Estimating memory bandwidth requirement, i.e. external memory bandwidth, given various cache size for target parallel applications requires a prohibitively large simulation time. In this work, we propose an analytical model to quickly estimate the memory bandwidth for a given cache size and hel...

The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors provide an efficient tool for the acceleration of scientific codes. Contrary to the GPGPU programming, where the code has to be adapted to the hardware design of the graphics cards, the Intel’s MIC (many integrated core) technology allows for easy porting of the standard CPU code. One of the options to utilize the Xeon Phi coprocessor is to run the code on the CP...

The rapid revolution in microprocessor chip architecture due to the many-core technology is presenting unprecedented challenges to the application developers as well as system software designers: how to best exploit the computation potential provided by such many-core architectures? The scope of this dissertation is to study programming issues for many-core architectures, and the contributions ...

We present SPAP (Same Program for All Processors), a containerbased programming language for heterogeneous many-core systems. SPAP abstracts away processor-specific concurrency and performance concerns using containers. Each SPAP container is a high level primitive with an STL-like interface. The programmervisible behavior of the container is consistent with its sequential counterpart, which en...

Current trends in high performance computing have produced two distinct families of chips. The first one is called complex core, which consists of a few, very architecturally sophisticated cores. The other chip family consists of many simple cores, which lack the advanced features of the complex ones. The two ideological camps have their examples in the current market. The Intel Core Duo family...
