Abstract

See full text

A virtual processor method and apparatus for parallel computer systems that increases the level of parallelism to include multiple threads per node. If a processor node has a plurality of storage devices attached, a single thread can be allocated to each device. Similarly, if a processor node has multiple CPUs, each individual thread can utilize a different CPU. Thus, a task could potentially occupy all available hardware in the system. The result is increased system utilization and availability.
