Repetitive Allocation Modelling with MARTE.

Abstract

With the advent of multi-processor Systems-on-Chip (MpSoC), the need for modeling the distribution of a parallel application onto a parallel hardware architecture is increasing. The recent standard profile for the modeling and analysis of real-time and embedded systems (MARTE) provides a notation for the modeling of regular distributions. This notation allows to distribute computations to processing elements, data to shared or distributed memories, etc. In this paper we will highlight the expressivity of this notation and clarify its usage through examples and comparisons to other distribution notations such as in High Performance Fortran.
