This report presents the experimental results obtained on an Alliant FX/8 minisupercomputer with program restructured according to the supernode partitioning method proposed by F. Irigoin in his PhD thesis (work in progress). Supernode restructuring increases data locality and sems to improve the speed by 50% when a large amount of data is processed. Some knowledge about the Alliant's architecture and supernode partitioning is assumed.

Mots clés: program transformation; tiling
