Abstract
Executing MIMD programs on a SIMD machine, including establishing on the SIMD machine a plurality of SIMD partitions; booting a first SIMD partition in MIMD mode; executing, on a compute node of the first SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode, a MIMD accelerator program; executing a SIMD program in a second SIMD partition, one instance of the SIMD program executing on each compute node of the second SIMD partition, each instance of the SIMD program carrying out a portion of the data processing effected by the SIMD program; and accelerating, by an instance of the SIMD program through the MIMD accelerator program, a portion of the data processing of the instance of the SIMD program.
