Mapping Embedded Applications on MPSoCs: The MNEMEE Approach

As embedded systems are becoming the center of the people digital life, system design becomes progressively harder. The integration of multiple features on devices with limited resources requires careful and exhaustive exploration of the design search space in order to efficiently map modern applications to an embedded multi-processor platform. The MNEMEE project addresses this challenge by offering a unique integrated tool flow that performs source-to-source transformations to automatically optimize the original source code and map it on the target platform. The optimizations aim at reducing the number of memory accesses and the required memory storage of both dynamically and statically allocated data. Furthermore, the MNEMEE tool flow performs optimal assignment of all data on the memory hierarchy of the target platform.
