Zusammenfassung:	A method, apparatus and computer instructions for discovering hardware nodes having a hierarchical organization. A subset of the hardware nodes in the data processing system is initialized prior to loading an operating system supporting parallel threads. In response to loading the operating system, thread for each hardware node discovered below a known hardware node is created to form a set of threads.
