  • Abstract
    Commercial multicore platforms offer flexibility, computational power, and energy efficiency. However, a key open issue remains: how can designers quickly and efficiently map an application onto such a platform while profiting from the potential benefits? This article presents a tool to parallelize applications for execution on embedded multicore platforms, allowing fast design space exploration.
