A method, system, and computer program product containing instructions for automatically converting an MPI source code program into an MPI thread-based program. In response to inputs in the form of an MPI source code program and a command, a converter declares a global variable of the MPI source code program as a thread private variable to create a first private variable for a first thread and a second private variable for a second thread. A library is identified to support converting processes to threads during execution of the MPI thread-based program, and the identified library is used to build an executable version of the MPI thread-based program. The identified library may include code to identify instantiation of a new process when the MPI thread-based program is executing, and in response, to cause a corresponding thread for the MPI thread-based program to be instantiated.
