Summary:A technique for operating a high performance computing (HPC) cluster includes monitoring workloads of multiple processors included in the HPC cluster. The HPC cluster includes multiple nodes that each include two or more of the multiple processors. One or more threads assigned to one or more of the multiple processors are moved to a different one of the multiple processors based on the workloads of the multiple processors.
