You may want to consider MPL (Maspar Programming Language) for ideas.
A basic feature of MPL is the type qualifier "plural" which describes
data on the SIMD processors. In addition, plural expressions can be
used in IF, FOR, WHILE, etc, statements to control which processors
participate at each region of code.


The MPL implementation is based on the gcc compiler, and the source code
can be accessed at ftp://maspar.maspar.com/pub/.
