An OpenMP Translator with Retargetable Parallel Programming Model for MPSoC

Ubiquitous computing encompasses a wide range of research topics, including MPSoC. In order to satisfy user’s want, ubiquitous system need to be faster. So ubiquitous software design becomes more challenging since it becomes a parallel programming for non-trivial heterogeneous multi-processors to satisfy performance with diverse communication architectures. OpenMP and MPI are two major model for parallel programming, but it has each pros and cons so we can’t select one to use only it for various MPSoC systems. To solve this problem, we implement OpenMP translator to translate OpenMP directive to MPI code when there isn’t OpenMP compiler for target MPSoC system. We also have proposed a new parallel programming model, called Common Intermediate Code (CIC) in this paper. OpenMP translator is a main part of CIC programming model.
