Abstract
En 中文
Multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) are evolving into heterogeneous architectures based on one host processor plus many-core accelerators. While heterogeneous SoCs promise higher performance/watt, they are programmed at the cost of major code rewrites with low-level programming abstractions (e.g, OpenCL). We present a programming model based on OpenMP, with additional directives to program the accelerator from a single host program. As a test case, we evaluate an implementation of this programming model for the STMicroelectronics STHORM development board. We obtain near-ideal throughput for most benchmarks, very close performance to hand-optimized OpenCL codes at a significantly lower programming complexity, and up to 30x speedup versus host execution time.
