Energy-aware dynamic task mapping for NoC-based MPSoCs

Abstract

To cope with the dynamic workload of actual NoC-based MPSoCs, dynamic mechanisms are required to guarantee the application requirements. Application mapping may drastically influence the system performance and the energy consumption, which can be crucial to the success (or failure) of a product, even more for battery-powered embedded systems. In this context, the current work presents an energy-aware dynamic task mapping heuristic, which was evaluated in a real NoC-based MPSoC platform. Results show that the proposed heuristic may reduces up to 22.8% of the communication energy consumption compared to other dynamic mapping heuristics.
