Abstract

A simple extension used to assist the decomposition of task-level concurrency within C programs is presented in this paper. The concurrency decomposition is meant to be used as the point of entry for Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoC) architectures' design-flow. Our methodology allows the (re) use of readily available reference C programs and enables easy and rapid exploration for various alternatives of task partitioning strategies; a crucial task that greatly influences the overall quality of the designed MPSoC. A test case using a JPEG encoder application has been performed and the results are presented in this paper.
