ABSTRACT:
Executing MIMD programs on a SIMD machine, including establishing SIMD partitions on the SIMD machine; booting SIMD partitions in MIMD mode; executing MIMD programs on the compute nodes of a first SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode; re-executing a launcher program by an operating system on a compute node in the first SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode upon termination of the MIMD program executed by the launcher program; determining by a scheduler that the first SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode is required to establish a new SIMD partition large enough to run a SIMD program that is scheduled for execution; moving by the scheduler data processing operations from the first SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode to the second SIMD partition booted in MIMD mode; and establishing by the scheduler the new SIMD partition.
