In this thesis, the performance of a heterogeneous multicore platform in terms of technical capability is evaluated. Therefore, the choice of architecture in general can be based on a set of diverse applications. Selected applications can be parallel or serial in nature. Applications evaluation are often based on various performance metrics including the resource utilization and execution time. The wireless communication systems are expanded to accelerate their functions execution in both software and hardware. The embedded systems which involve several types of communication systems perform a large number of computations which require short execution time and minimized power consumption. Also, there is a growing demand for application-specific accelerators aiding general purpose.
