Abstract
Mechanisms for performing data parallel function calls in code during runtime are provided. These mechanisms may operate to execute, in the processor, a portion of code having a data parallel function call to a target portion of code. The mechanisms may further operate to determine, at runtime by the processor, whether the target portion of code is a data parallel portion of code or a scalar portion of code and determine whether the calling code is data parallel code or scalar code. Moreover, the mechanisms may operate to execute the target portion of code based on the determination of whether the target portion of code is a data parallel portion of code or a scalar portion of code, and the determination of whether the calling code is data parallel code or scalar code.
