Efficient Task Mapping for Manycore Systems
share
System-on-chip (SoC) has migrated from single core to manycore architectures to cope with the increasing complexity of real-life applications. Application task mapping has a significant impact on the efficiency of manycore system (MCS) computation and communication. We present WAANSO, a scalable framework that incorporates a Wavelet Clustering based approach to cluster application tasks. We also introduce Ant Swarm Optimization (ASO) based on iterative execution of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for task clustering and mapping to the MCS processing elements. We have shown that WAANSO can significantly increase the MCS energy and performance efficiencies. Based on our experiments on a 64-core system, WAANSO improves energy efficiency by 19 branch and bound (B B). Additionally, the performance improves by 65.86 compared to Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) baseline.
