There's a public copy of the (super sketchy) draft toolchain that some of the folks in the lab were working with on github: https://github.com/aggregate/MOG https://github.com/aggregate/MOG It's a horrifying toolchain that uses MIPSEL assembly as an IR so we didn't have to screw around with language front-ends, but it pretty much worked.

> MIPSEL assembly as an IR http://nestedvm.ibex.org/ http://nestedvm.ibex.org/ > NestedVM provides binary translation for Java Bytecode. This is done by having GCC compile to a MIPS binary which is then translated to a Java class file. Funny, it seems they are both from the same time period. ---- > Our first MIMD interpreter running on the MasPar MP1 [6] achieved approximately 1/4 the theoretical peak native distributed-memory SIMD speed while supporting a full-featured shared-memory MIMD programming model. That is amazing! If you haven't seen the project below, you should definitely check it out.
