Efficient application mapping in resource limited homogeneous NoC-based manycore systems

Network-on-Chip (NoC)-based manycore systems are a significant trend in todays highly demanding embedded systems design. These systems enable existing and emerging demanding applications to be efficiently realized in embedded environment. In this paper, a popular streamlined application such as JPEG decoding is mapped and distributed on a resource-limited lightweight NoC-based manycore environment in order to explore and evaluate efficient mapping. Th e presented mapping approach is beneficial when trying to achieve portability, scalability and flexible resource utilization.
