Abstract :
This paper describes the implementation of a graphic rendering pipeline on an MPSoC architecture devoted to the dynamic management of static task graphs. It exhibits the highly non stationary workloads of this application domain and provides first useful feedbacks motivating the design of innovative embedded architectures that have to face heterogeneous computation domains such as graphics and telecommunications. Especially these experiments stress the needs for data dependent resource allocation strategies.
