ABSTRACT:
Executing MIMD programs on a SIMD machine, the SIMD machine including a plurality of compute nodes, each compute node capable of executing only a single thread of execution, the compute nodes initially configured exclusively for SIMD operations, the SIMD machine further comprising a data communications network, the network comprising synchronous data communications links among the compute nodes, including establishing one or more SIMD partitions, booting one or more SIMD partitions in MIMD mode; establishing a MIMD partition; executing by launcher programs a plurality of MIMD programs on two or more of the compute nodes of the MIMD partition; and re-executing a launcher program by an operating system on a compute node in the MIMD partition upon termination of the MIMD program executed by the launcher program.
