The article reports on next-generation low power multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC). Designers must almost invariably trade the ever-increasing demand for performance against stringent power budgets, particularly for battery-operated devices. In modern processor core design, designers widely take advantage of techniques to control and minimize power dissipation. But in contrast to the single processor scenario, the software programmer's decisions in the MPSoC domain regarding application mapping and task-level parallelism are key in determining the power/performance trade-off points.
