Title:

OSCAR Parallelizing Compiler and Its Performance for Embedded Applications

Abstract:

This talk presents the parallel processing performance for industrial embedded application programs including automobiles, smart-phones, cameras and medical systems using OSCAR multigrain parallelizing compiler, OSCAR API and OSCAR API Analizer. The OSCAR tools allow us to automatically parallelize sequential C programs written in parallelizable C, MISRA C, or generated by the MATLAB/Simulink embedded C coder. Also the tool can generate parallel machine codes for various processors, such as ARM, SH, Renesas, Intel, Fujitsu, AMD and IBM with various OSs, such as Android, eT-kernel, Linux, Solaris, AIX and Windows.
