Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method of reservoir simulation in a data processing system, the data processing system comprising a unified pool of a plurality of processor clusters of processor nodes, at least one of the processor clusters of the unified pool being composed of processor nodes having a different processing speed than the processing speed of processor nodes in other processor clusters of the unified pool, the computer implemented method comprising the steps of: (a) reviewing a request for reservoir simulation with processors of an identified processing speed; (b) determining whether one of the processor clusters of the unified pool has processor nodes of the identified processing speed available for the requested reservoir simulation; (c) if so, performing the requested reservoir simulation in the determined processor cluster by performing the steps of: (d) if not, performing the requested reservoir simulation with the processor nodes of each of the plurality of processor clusters in the unified pool by performing the steps of:
