Abstract

For modeling modern streaming-oriented applications, Process Networks (PNs) are used to describe systems with changing behavior, which must be mapped on a concurrent architecture to meet the performance and energy constraints of embedded devices. Finding an optimal mapping of Process Networks to the constrained architecture presumes that the behavior of the Process Network is statically known. In this paper we present a static analysis for synchronous PNs that extracts different run-time modes by using polyhedral abstraction. The result is a Mealy machine whose states describe different run-time modes and the edges among them represent transitions. This machine can be used to guide optimizing backend mappings from PNs to concurrent architectures.
