Abstract

The problem of efficiently programming complex embedded heterogeneous Multi-Processor Systems-On-Chip (MPSoCs) continues to be one of the biggest hurdles in the IT community. Extracting parallelism from sequential applications, dealing with different programming models, and handling real time constraints in the presence of multiple concurrent applications are some of the challenges that make MPSoC programming so difficult. In this paper we describe the MAPS tool suite, which tries to tackle these aspects of MPSoC programming in an integrated development environment built upon the Eclipse framework. We give an overview of the MAPS framework, highlighting its differences to the previous work in [7], and report on experiences using the tool.
