Compiler Method for Employing Multiple Autonomous Synergistic Processors to Simultaneously Operate on Longer Vectors of Data

A compiler includes a mechanism for employing multiple synergistic processors to execute long vectors. The compiler receives a single source program. The compiler identifies vectorizable loop code in the single source program and extracts the vectorizable loop code from the single source program. The compiler then compiles the extracted vectorizable loop code for a plurality of synergistic processors. The compiler also compiles a remainder of the single source program for a principal processor to form an executable main program such that the executable main program controls operation of the executable vectorizable loop code on the plurality of synergistic processors.
