Performance evaluation of parallel applications on multiprocessor systems on chip

A MPSOC based on Network-on-Chip (NoC) is developed and presented. Some matrix applications are developed for this platform according to the shared-memory programming model. Performance results are compared between the NoC based multiprocessor system and the traditional bus-based MPSOC. The concerns of efficient data distribution and requisition for the memory system have also been considered in this paper. A conclusion is made in the end showing the apparent advantages brought in by the NoC based MPSOC.
