Effective OpenMP Implementation and Translation For Multiprocessor System-On-Chip without Using OS

It is attractive to use the OpenMP as a parallel programming model on a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) because it is easy to write a parallel program in the OpenMP and there is no standard method for parallel programming on an MPSoC. In this paper, we propose an effective OpenMP implementation and translation for major OpenMP directives on an MPSoC with physically shared memories, hardware semaphores, and no operating system.
