Evaluation of Application-Specific Multiprocessor Mobile System

The popularity of application-specific computing systems is on the rise and many systems have been developed in fields such as multimedia, high -speed networks, information systems, signal and image processing. Real-time application-specific systems are more complex and require more time to develop. In this paper, we explore the architecture of a multiprocessor mobile system running MPEG4 application. We develop a simulation program using VisualSim to evaluate the system performance in terms of utilization, delay, and total number of transactions processed by the different system components for various cache sizes and task rates.
