Abstract :
A novel methodology is proposed for thread mapping on a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system with a network-on-chip (NoC). This novel mapping leverages multi-threaded traces produced by a binary instrumentation tool, which classifies the communication and computation events for each thread of a multi-threaded program application. Processing these binary instrumentation traces after profiling, a static thread mapping is computed to improve the NoC performance.
