A kind of shared multi-channel on-chip memory CMP architecture is proposed in this article to efficiently support embedded applications. For the multi-channel on-chip memory being scarce resource, optimal space management mechanism of multi-channel on-chip memory is proposed including automatic space allocation strategy based on application parallelization mapping pattern and optimal space utilization scheme. ILP-model-based analysis of system performance verifies that the proposed optimal space management mechanism can deeply exploit the efficiency of multi-channel on-chip memory to improve system performance.
