Evaluation of Multicore Processors for Embedded Systems by Parallel Benchmark Program Using OpenMP

, , , , , and . Evolving OpenMP in an Age of Extreme Parallelism, (2009)

Abstract

Recently, multicore technology has been introduced to embedded systems in order to improve performance and reduce power consumption. In the present study, three SMP multicore processors for embedded systems and a multicore processor for a desktop PC are evaluatedby the parallel benchmark using OpenMP. The results indicate that, even if the memory performance is low, applications thatare not memory-intensive exhibit large speedups by parallelization. The results also indicate a large performance improvementdue to parallelization using OpenMP, despite its low cost.
