Evolve methods and tools to facilitate the development (or restructuring) of parallel applications and to make them much more efficient.
The main tasks consist of:
Definition and implementation of a multi-level parallel programming and execution model for embedded applications and specification of a respective execution platform
Multilevel parallel programming with high-level directives based on OpenMP directives
Profiling and restructuring of sequential programs
Performance characterisation of multi-core /multithreaded systems through extensive benchmarking
Development of an expert system for optimising applications on multi-core /multithreaded systems by performing static and dynamic analysis, e.g. with respect to the efficiency of loop parallelisation, excessive cache coherence traffic, etc.
Adaptation of message passing APIs to MPSoC environments, probably as a subset of MPI
Tools for the design exploration of efficient interconnecting networks for Multiprocessors on a Chip (MPSoC)
