9.3. Compiler Support
An optimizing compiler that targets MPSoC environments should tackle a number of critical issues. In the following discussion, we first explain these issues and then study potential solutions.
9.3.1. Problems
From the performance viewpoint, perhaps the two most important memory-related tasks to be performed in an MPSoC environment are optimizing parallelism and locality.
Parallelism
Optimizing parallelism is obviously important, since parallelism is the main reason to employ multiple processors in a single unit. In fact, a parallelization strategy determines how memory is utilized by multiple on-chip processors and can be an important factor for achieving an acceptable performance. However, maximum parallelism may not ...
