Abstract
Techniques for enabling high-performance computing are provided. The techniques include resizing a logical partition in a non-dedicated compute cluster server to enable high-performance computing, wherein a high performance computing application is executed such that the high performance computing application is configured to complete execution of each of one or more application threads at a similar time as a slowest thread in the cluster, and wherein the non-dedicated compute cluster comprises one or more servers and the logical partition is created by partitioning one or more server resources.
