N2 - A heterogeneous multi-core processor (HMCP) architecture, which integrates general purpose processors (CPU) and accelerators (ACC) to achieve high-performance as well as low-power consumption with the support of a parallelizing compiler, was developed. The evaluation was performed using an MP3 audio encoder on a simulator that accurately models the HMCP. It showed that 16-frame encoding on the HMCP with four CPUs and four ACCs yielded 24.5-fold speed-up of performance against sequential execution on one CPU. Furthermore, power saving by the compiler reduced energy consumption of the encoding to 0.17 J, namely, by 28.4%.
