If you don't want to migrate threads between processors, this sounds
pretty feasible. You can simply run OS threads with separate Python
interpreters on the processors, using whatever communication mechanism
you're already using to talk between the interpreters, and let each
interpreter run as many microthreads as you want. The disutility of
microthreads with regard to legacy Fortran code would remain, but
maybe you have some other application in mind.

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
