Abstract
A message passing system may execute a parallel application on multiple compute nodes. Each compute node may perform a single workload on at least two physical computing resources. Messages may be passed from one compute node to another, and each physical computing resource assigned to a compute node may receive and process the messages. In some embodiments, the compute nodes may be virtualized so that a message passing system may only detect a single compute node and not the multiple underlying physical computing resources.
