Compiler-assisted, adaptive runtime system for the support of OpenMP in embedded multicores

The latest versions of OpenMP have introduced constructs for exploiting heterogeneous compute units alongside the main multicore cpu. The offloaded program portions (kernels) may generate parallelism within the target device by employing standard OpenMP constructs. However co-processors, especially embedded ones, often have limited resources to provide efficient OpenMP support. Designing an OpenMP infrastructure for such devices is a challenge and a usual design decision is to support OpenMP only partially.
