The present invention pertains to a system and method for simulating multiple clusters of independent computer nodes in a single machine. A cluster contains one or more computer nodes interconnected by a communications link. A user can simulate a cluster of n nodes by generating n user-level procedures where each user-level procedure represents the kernel of a respective node. An additional mechanism is provided which allows a user to exercise the operation of any intended function in any of the nodes in any of the clusters.
