چکیده
Heterogeneous multi-core processors are at tracted by the media processing applications due to their capability ofdrawing strengths ofdifferent cores to improve the overall performance. However, the data transfer bottle necks and limitations in the task allocation have preventedus from gainingfull potential of the heterogeneous multi-core processors. This paper presents a task allocation method to reduce the data transfer time and to increase the overall processing speed. According to the experimental results, the proposed method reduces 75% of the procesing time compared to the conventional task allocation method.
