Systems and methods for remotely installing software on a computing system while the computing system is running on a first bootable image, so that the computing system is not removed from operation during the installation of a second bootable image. The method comprises constructing the second bootable image on a storage medium accessible to the computing system while the computing system is operating in a first operating environment in association with the first bootable image, customizing the second bootable image so that the computing system can operate in a second operating environment in association with the second bootable image, disassociating the computing system from the first bootable image, and associating the computing system with the second bootable image.

A method for job selection and resource allocation of massively parallel processors, the method includes: providing to a constraint satisfaction problem solver multiple domains, variables, and constraints representative of a massively parallel processor, of queued job requests and of jobs being processed by the massively parallel processor, and generating, by the constraint satisfaction problem solver a result representative of multiple jobs to be executed, at least partially in parallel, by multiple resources of the massively parallel processor.
