Task mapping is one of the most important design processes in embedded manycore systems. This paper proposes a static task mapping technique for manycore real-time systems. The technique minimizes the number of cores while satisfying deadline constraints of individual tasks.

This paper proposes a static application mapping technique, based on integer linear programming, for non-hierarchical manycore embedded systems. Unlike previous work which was designed for hierarchical manycore SoCs, this work allows more flexible application mapping to achieve higher performance. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this work.
