Julian Robledo Mejia received his Bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering (2015) from University of Antioquia (UdeA) in Medellín Colombia and his Master’s degree in Embedded Systems from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2017 in Italy, his graduate thesis was about developing a fault injection environment for a real-time operating system. After finishing his master’s program, Julian worked in the automotive sector developing embedded software for major carmakers. In January 2020, Julian joined the Chair for Compiler Construction as research assistant.

Abstract
Advancing telecommunication standards continuously push for larger bandwidths, lower latencies, and faster but also with a high workload heterogeneity. As a consequence of the required flexibility, baseband processing has seen a trend towards software implementations in cloud Radio Access Networks (cRANs). The flexibility gained from software implementation comes at the price of impoverished energy efficiency. This paper data rates. The receiver baseband unit not only has to deal with a huge number of users expecting connectivity
addresses the trade-off between flexibility and efficiency by proposing a domain-specific hybrid mapping algorithm. Hybrid mapping is an established approach from the model-based design of embedded systems that allows us to retain flexibility while targeting heterogeneous hardware. Depending on the current workload, the runtime system selects the most energy-efficient mapping configuration without violating timing constraints. We leverage the structure of baseband processing to enable efficient mapping of 100s of tasks at the millisecond granularity, improving upon state-of-the-art hybrid approaches. We validate our approach on an Odroid XU4 and virtual platforms with application-specific accelerators. In our evaluation on different LTE workloads, our hybrid approach achieves, in a median execution, the same performance with the same hardware resources, while only consuming about a third of the dynamic energy, compared to a work-stealing software scheduler.Bibtex

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.
