This session addresses performance estimation and runtime management issues for MPSoCs.  The first paper concerns resource allocation at run-time, allowing multiple real-time applications to run simultaneously on a heterogeneous MPSoC.  The second paper proposes two methods to estimate the execution time of a pipelined MPSoC, minimising the use of slow cycle-accurate simulations.  Finally, the third paper presents a compiler-based technique for automatic generation of workload models for performance evaluation by means of simulation.
