System-Level Modeling And Simulation Of Mpsoc Run-Time Management Using Execution Traces Analysis

Dynamic management of modern Multi-Processors System on Chip (MPSoC) become mandatory for optimization purpose. Evaluation of these managers is essential early in the design process to guarantee a reduced design cycle. However, most of the existing system-level simulation-based frameworks consider static application mapping and do not consider the run-time management effects. In this work, we present a modeling and simulation approach that allows integration of run-time management strategies in MPSoC system simulation. We have integrated the proposed approach in an industrial modeling and simulation framework. A case-study with seven applications running on a heterogeneous multicore platform is considered and different management strategies are evaluated according to latency and power consumption criteria.
