“…A hierarchy-bus based multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) is studied in [9] by prototyping the architecture on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and comparing the results of the MPSoC with a single core processor. A framework for NoC-based MPSoC, called HeMPS is presented in [10] with support for static and dynamic task mapping based on a C/SystemC simulation model of processors and memories. The NoCRay graphic accelerator, an implementation of NoC-based homogeneous MPSoC, is studied in [11] by using a complete design methodology that tackles different aspects of hardware architecture, system level modeling, and programming models.…”

The demand for compute cycles needed by embedded systems is rapidly increasing. Due to the limitations of single-core processors, a move towards multi-core architectures is unavoidable. In this paper, we introduce the XGRID embedded many-core system-on-chip architecture. XGRID makes use of a novel, FPGA-like, programmable interconnect infrastructure, offering scalability and deterministic communication using hardware supported message passing among cores. We have developed a simulation framework for the XGRID architecture, which provides system performance information. Our experiments with XGRID are very encouraging. A number of parallel benchmarks are evaluated on the XGRID processor using the application mapping technique described in this work. Results show an average of 5X speedup, a maximum of 14X speedup, and a minimum of 2X speedup across all benchmarks. We have validated our scalability claim by running our benchmarks on XGRID varying in core count. We have also validated our assertions on XGRID architecture by comparing XGRID against the Graphite many-core architecture and have shown that XGRID outperforms Graphite in performance.

Within this paper an adaptive approach for parallel simulation of SystemC RTL models on future many-core architectures like the Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) from Intel is presented. It is based on a configurable parallel SystemC kernel that preserves the partial order defined by the SystemC delta cycles while avoiding global synchronization as far as possible. The underlying algorithm relies on a classification of existing communication relations between parallel processes. The type and topology of communication relations determines the type and number of causality conditions that need to be fulfilled during runtime. The parallel kernel is complemented by an automated tool flow that allows detecting relevant modelspecific properties, performing a fine-grained model partitioning, classifying communication relations and configuring the kernel. Experiments by means of a MPSoC model show, that pure local synchronization can provide significant performance gains compared to global synchronization. Furthermore, the combination of local synchronization with fine-grained partitioning provides additional degrees of freedom for optimization.
