The advancement in process technology has enabled integration of different types of processing cores into a single chip towards creating heterogeneous Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). While providing high level of computation power to support complex applications, these modern systems also introduce novel challenges for system designers, like managing a huge number of mappings (application tasks to processing cores allocations) that increases exponentially with the number of cores and their types. This paper presents a mapping approach that computes multiple energy-throughput trade-off points (mappings) at design-time and uses one of these points at run-time based on desired throughput and current resource availability while optimizing for the overall energy consumption.
