a simulated annealing-based throughput-aware task mapping algorithm for manycore processors

With the advent of having many processor cores on a single chip in many-core processors, the demand for exploiting these on-chip resources to boost the performance of applications has been increased. task mapping is the problem of mapping the application tasks on these processor cores in order to achieve a lower latency and a better performance. many research works are focused on minimizing the path between the tasks that demand a high bandwidth for communication. although using these methods can result in a lower latency, at the same time, it is possible to create congestion in the network, which lowers the network throughput. in this paper, a throughput-aware method is proposed that uses simulated annealing for task mapping. the method is checked on several real-world applications, and simulations are conducted on a cycle-accurate network on a chip simulator. the results obtained illustrate that the proposed method can achieve a higher throughput, while maintaining the delay in the network on chip.
