    Abstract

    In this paper we present an analytical performance, area and power (PAP) model for a class of mesh-based emulated shared memory (ESM) chip multiprocessor (CMP) architectures, which are promising candidates for building blocks of general purpose and embedded parallel computing devices due to their efficiency in executing arbitrary computational loads and ease of programming achieved through utilizing strong models of computing. Based on the PAP model we commit a comprehensive design space exploration to to identify fundamental performance, area, and power trade-offs for the class of ESM CMP architectures employing incremental combinations of performance enhancement techniques
