Abstract

We present Mocasin, an open-source rapid prototyping framework for researching, implementing and validating new algorithms and solutions in the field of mapping software to heterogeneous multi-cores. In contrast to the many existing tools that often specialize for a particular use-case, Mocasin is an open, flexible and generic research environment that abstracts over the approaches taken by other tools. Mocasin is designed to support a wide range of models of computation and input formats, implements manifold mapping strategies and provides an adjustable high-level simulator for performance estimation. This infrastructure serves as a flexible vehicle for exploring new approaches and as a blueprint for building customized tools. We highlight the key design aspects of Mocasin that enable its flexibility and illustrate its capabilities in a case-study showing how Mocasin can be used for building a customized tool for researching runtime mapping strategies in an LTE uplink receiver.
