Multimedia SoCs are characterized by a main controller that directs the activity of several cores, each of which controls a stage in the processing of a media stream. Stimuli generation for such systems can be modeled as a scheduling problem that assigns data items to the processing elements of the system. Our work presents a linear programming (LP) modeling scheme for these scheduling problems. We implemented this modeling scheme as part of SoCVer, a stimuli generator for multimedia SoCs. Experimental results show that this LP-based scheme allows easier modeling and provides better performance than CSP-based engines, which are widely used for stimuli generation.
