Suppose you have this situation:
A user runs a regular program which will create process xyz.exe on a SMP machine, and he wants to get use of more than one cpu to fasten that process, the software soloution is to rewrite the program to support multithreading, is there any other soloutins, i.e, third party software, OS soloutions, that you can get use of SMP with out changing your code, I hope I cleared out.

xyz.exe???????

I've heard about software that could automate the parallelization process but it was all Fortran specific.

so my guess is no you'll have to rewrite the software to be either multithreaded or to make it use multiple process.

Sorry, I dont understand this programming stuff "or may be any programming stuff", I was just wondering if I could fasten my jobs, I found this:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Parallel-Processing-HOWTO-6.html

I run g77 code, so is there any way I can get use of HPF or similar compilers.

ahh you do use fortran programs.

next time give us all the information in one chunk please.

ok this changes things a little bit, yes lots of fortran code can be automaticaly parallelalized and I believe some of the needed tools are Free.

I did some research on this when Linux Egypt was young, trying to convince a certain Faculty to build a beowulf clusture, I'll see if I can find my report and notes from the era.

but I suspect you won't find much help here, you'd better join some specialized mailing list for such stuff, or post questions on comp.lang.fortran

tell us about anything you find out.

cheers,

Dont relay too much on me in that, Im not a programmer, I hardly understand how dose my software work, I'll try my best Inshallah.
