Abstract :
Invasive computing is a novel concept in multiprocessor architecture and programming. Invasion will become an important step towards self-organizing behavior which will be needed in the next generation of massively parallel MPSoCs with unrivaled performance and resource efficiency numbers as one of the main challenges for MPSoC apart from their programming. In this paper we introduce and model a finite state machine for controlling the invasive process in different architectural granularities. The applicability of our FSM is tested in case studies for a reconfigurable MPSoC platform and a fine-grained platform. The results show substantial flexibility gains with only marginal additional hardware cost.
