A parallelization approach for resource-restricted embedded heterogeneous MPSoCs inspired by OpenMP

This paper describes a new approach and infrastructure inspired by the OpenMP API to support the extraction and implementation of pipeline parallelism, which is commonly found in complex embedded applications. In addition, advanced techniques to extract parallelism from legacy applications requiring only minimal code modifications are presented. Further, the resulting toolflow combines advanced parallelization, mapping and communication optimization tools leading to a more efficient approach to exploit parallelism for typical embedded applications on heterogeneous MPSoCs running distributed real-time operating systems.
