Title:

Domain specific programming approach for a heterogeneous multicore SoC

Abstract:

Today's battery-driven SoC takes advantage of heterogeneous multicore to satisfy both high performance and low power consumption. It still requires expertise to find out parallelism in a target application in order to exploit performance of a heterogeneous multicore SoC. We think that building a kind of a domain specific language using a functional programming would make finding parallelism in an application easier. There is also a mechanism to map detected parallelism to specific hardware. This talk will introduce the overview of capability to build a domain specific language using functional programming and mechanism to map parallelism to hardware.
