This is especially pronounced in embedded systems due to limita- Tions in memory. We propose an adaptive compute-phase prediction and thread prioritization algorithm for memory access scheduling for embedded chip multiprocessors. The proposed algorithm eficiently categorize threads based on execution characteristics and provides fine-grained priori- Tization that allows to differentiate threads and prioritize their memory access requests accordingly. The threads in compute phase are prioritized among the threads in mem- ory phase. Furthermore, the threads in compute phase are prioritized among themselves based on the potential of mak- ing more progress in their execution. Compared to the prior works First-Ready First-Come First-Serve (FR-FCFS) and Compute-phase Prediction with Writeback-Refresh Overlap (CP-WO), the proposed algorithm reduces the execution time of the generated workloads up to 23.6% and 12.9%, respectively.
