Mapping streaming applications on a reconfigurable MPSoC platform at run-time

Abstract

In this paper we present a method for mapping streaming applications, with real-time requirements, onto a reconfigurable MPSoC. In this method, the performance of the hardware architecture (the reconfigurable Processing Element, the Network Interface and the Network-on-Chip) is integrated in the performance models of the applications. In this way the performance of the mapped application can be determined at runtime. A predictable NoC (guaranteed bandwidth and bounded latency), a predictable Network Interface and a predictable Processing Element are key requirements for our approach.
