Vector DSPs offer a good performance to power consumption ratio. Therefore, they are suitable for mobile devices in software defined radio applications. These vector DSPs require input algorithms with vector operations. The performance of Vectorized algorithms to a great extent depends on the distribution of data on vector elements. Traditional algorithms for vectorization focus on the extraction of parallelism from a program; we propose an analysis tool that focuses on the selection of an effcient dynamic data mapping for vector DSPs. We transferred Garcia''s communication parallelism graph [1] for distributed memory multiprocessor systems to vector DSPs. By alternating the representation of two-dimensional data distributions and the cost models, we are able to determine a dynamic mapping of data on vector elements on the EVP [2]. Additionally, we propose a new effcient algorithm for processing the graph representation. We demonstrate our tool by describing the vectorization of two MIMO OFDM algorithms.
