Writing parallel programs for clusters of workstations is still a challenging task. In this paper, we present Kerrighed, a Single System Image (SSI) operating system giving the illusion of an SMP machine, and providing the standard posix thread interface to developers. It is therefore possible to use Kerrighed to run OpenMP programs compiled for SMP-machines using the posix thread interface. In this paper, we explain how we managed to achieve that goal, and present the benefits of providing OpenMP support through the SSI approach as opposed to a dedicated run-time environment.
