Do you need the threads to talk to each other?

If you can run completely separate processes, as in

then you could go the HTC route with e.g. condor:

If you need the threads to talk to each other during the run, you're
looking at HPC, and if you need performance you're probably better off
with shared memory (OpenMP) rather than strict message passing (MPI).
