Abstract
Real-time streaming signal processing systems typically desire
high throughput and low latency.
Many such systems can be modeled as synchronous data flow graphs.
In this paper, we address the problem of multi-objective mapping
of SDF graphs onto heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms, where
we account for the overhead of bus-based inter-processor communication.
The primary contributions include
- an integer linear programming (ILP) model that globally
optimizes throughput, latency and cost;
- low-complexity two-stage heuristics based on a combination of
an evolutionary algorithm with an ILP to generate either a
single sub-optimal mapping solution or a Pareto front for
design space optimization.
In our simulations, the proposed heuristic shows up to 12x run-time
efficiency compared to the global ILP while maintaining a
10-6 optimality gap in throughput.
