Design space exploration of multiprocessors on chip requires both automatic performance analysis techniques and efficient multiprocessors configuration performance evaluation. Prohibitive simulation time of single multiprocessor configuration makes large design space exploration impossible without massive use of computing resources and still implementation issues are not tackled. This paper proposes a new performance evaluation methodology for multiprocessors on chip which conduct a multiobjective design space exploration through emulation. The proposed approach is validated on a 4 way multiprocessor on chip design space exploration where a 6 order of magnitude improvement have been achieved over cycle accurate simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
