Abstract:
To fulfill the need of intensive embedded computations, architects have proposed Network-on-Chip based Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip. Applications exploit the distinct features of the different types of processors in Multi-
Processor Systems-on-Chip to optimize the performance metrics: overall execution time, energy consumption, resource
usage, etc. Application designers often map statically the tasks on the processors. This static mapping cannot handle many kinds of applications such as those with dynamic workloads and one must use dynamic mapping when several applications
run concurrently. As such, there has been an increased need for defining and developing simulation software for carrying out
a simulation of the proposed dynamic Mapping heuristics to the NoC-based MPSoC architectures. In this paper, we present DynMapNoCSIM, a JAVA based Dynamic Mapping simulator for NoC-based MPSoC architecture, which builds upon the object-oriented modular design of the NoC-based MPSoC architecture components. Here we demonstrate the use of our
proposed simulator by providing a conceptual detail. We have also presented all the features offered. Finally, we have validated the outputs of DynMapNoCSIM with the studies of existing and proposed Dynamic mapping strategies.
