Abstract(in English) Heterogeneous processors are attracted by the image processing and recognition applications due to their capability of drawing strengths of different cores to improve the overall performance. However, data transfer between different cores caues serious performance degradetion. In this paper, we evaluate optical flow and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) on a heterogeneous multicore processor RP1 that has four CPUs and two reconfigurable processors. The reconfiguralbe processor called Flexible Engine/Generic ALU arrays (FE-GA) works as an accelerator for multimedia applications. To improve the total performances, we present task allocation to reduce the data transfers between different cores and modification of an algorithm suitable for the FE-GA. The performances per watt for optical flow and HOG are improved by 30.3 times and 2.1 times in comparison with a single CPU.
